Hi. I'll try and keep this short and simple.
PC specs:
Windows XP Home SP3
AMD Athlon II X2 240 (2.81 GHz)
3GB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250
Less than a year old.
I'm currently using Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 to edit videos. I like the software, it's really easy to use etc. but there's just one problem. On the timeline the clips have sort of 'thumbnails' that show what is at that point. When I move the timeline across, or edit a clip, it updates said timeline, causing severe lag. Talking like 2FPS in the video preview box.
Do any of you know can I can sort that? I bought 2GB more RAM - nothing different. Do I need a better processor?
I also have a 27 inch iMac (:P) which I never really use. It has 4GB of RAM and a 3.06 GHz Intel Core Duo processor. Would I be better off editing videos on there? If I did, I'd need to transfer the .avi files, which are massive. That's why I'd like to use my PC. Also I'm not sure what software is available for mac.
