Why does Sony Vegas skipping frames and how can you fix it?

Sony Vegas may skip frames due to several factors, including insufficient system resources, high project settings, or playback settings that are too demanding for your hardware. To fix this, you can lower the preview quality, close other applications to free up RAM, ensure your graphics drivers are up to date, and consider rendering the project instead of previewing it during editing. Additionally, optimizing your media files and using proxy files for high-resolution footage can help improve performance.
