RDH: Yes...MP4's. I have tried converting to AVI's and it gets MUCH WORSE when I do so. The files get HUGE, and then everything slows WAY DOWN like it's all in slow motion, and then skips along in what looks like still frames clicking slowly along. Fluid video motion stops when I bring in AVIs that were converted from the Flip camera's MP4s...
Sorry for the delay in getting back to this discussion folks. Had serious medical issues in the family...Anyway, something is SERIOUSLY WRONG folks because now, my "music video" absolutely WILL NOT let me add even one more clip to the song. I am stuck at nearly the one minute mark of what is to be a roughly 4 minute music video. The instant I try to bring in another video clip, the WHOLE THING crashes, and gives me that lovely "SEND" "DON'T SEND" option. Remember that all of this started with the audio hiccups. They just got worse and worse until audio would nearly NOT PLAY AT ALL. Now if I try even ONE small edit action, the whole program just crashes. Clearly things have accumulated/stacked up too much. Again, this is a system that SHOULD be well within specs according to the published system requirements: Dual Quad Core i7 @ 2.9 GHz (my performance meter in Task Manager shows my CPU is almost "asleep" while Adobe is running, hovering right around 2%-3% used, and never spiking above 10%), Win XP (on the side of the dual boot I am currently using)...3 GB RAM visible to XP, and on the Win 7 side of the dual boot, 8 GB RAM is visible. No matter about the 8GB though. It crashes just as quickly, and in EVERY instance, I get a warning as soon as I start the program, telling me that I am dangerously low on memory and to save and proceed with caution. Well, not much chance of that. It crashes within the first 60 seconds now. Upon pulling up task manager, I notice that the memory usage of Adobe climbs REALLY HIGH REALLY QUICK...between around .75 GB of RAM used up to about 1.5 GB RAM used, and that's pretty much the Death Knell. Is it normal for memory usage to be THAT high? Is this all about MP4 files being used, and if so, how can converting to AVI files that wind up being 4 times as large be of any help? Interestingly, a previous video I worked on with ALL AVI files that are MUCH LARGER, but from a different camera (the MP4s are from a Flip Ultra HD), runs just fine, so I'm thinking this HAS to be a file format thing... In short though, I am pretty much OUT of the video biz, until I can solve this...HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHELP :) --- In [email protected], "raymondhng" <raymond...@...> wrote: > > > Did you say you're editing MP4 video clips?
