While playing, the timeline cursor hangs on the first frame of every cut in a video strip for several seconds. When this happens, the video freezes for a while and when it finally continues it skips over a bunch of frames.
To Reproduce:
1. Make a cut in a video strip
2. Place the cursor somewhere before the strip
3. Press play
Workaround:
The best workaround is to cache in the first frame of each cut before you play through them. You can do this by hitting page up/down to jump to each cut.
