first off i want to say thank you to everyone who replied to my thread.
Okay for Willen i doubt its my computer because i have a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz computer, and i have 2 gigs of ram. As for the actual project its running on a external mini HD thats 60 gigs in size with a 7200 rpm. So all in all its at the very least a standard computer. As for the codecs that i use when i encode, At the moment i am using a x264 codec. I was hoping to finish the project as x264 since its relatively small and when i was done with everythng go back and redo it with huffyv which should take very little time since the groundwork is already done.
As for Crack the Sky T___T. My dynamic memory has an entire gig dedicated to it

. So i don't think i can give anymore to the program HAHA. And when u mean looping do u mean just highlighting the clip area i want to see and just render that portion?
PS: i prolly forgot to mention in my first post. But the x264 clips i import in work perfectly fine until i cut them and add transitions thats when they start to go haywire. As for the overall project the first 30 seconds work without a hitch transitions and all its just after that it starts to break apart T__T.
Again thnx for any help and advice you have given me i really appreciate it
