Thanks. I’m going to check now if there is an updated version for Windows.

Edit: Just checked and there is a new version 4.1 for Windows as well. I installed it and will play with it later…

I have noticed that version 4.1.0 (on a Mac with PL 4) brings improvements. Only when I use presets created with SEP2, I still experience delays of up to 2 seconds before they are applied.

Same problem,with Nik Collection 4 installed on a Mac Pro 2019 28 Core with 1,5TB RAM. Unbelievable slow performance while I can run Davinci Resolve on a 4K timeline full res raw files without any jitter.
Previous version of NIK worked fine on my Mac Pro 2013…but in 2021 you can hardly believe you have to watch for 2 seconds before a slider move renders. Not workable in any way!!
