Okay Ive had these problems for a while... a few questions:
1. Does exporting video really always takes a long time? I dont mind the space consumption, but I have a decent computer (6600 Core 2 duo processor, 2 gigs of ram, 8800 GTS 320mb nvidia) and for a 5 second animation edited video, it takes about 10 mins to export. Sometimes the frame rate of saving into a movie is so slow at certain points. Idk the problem here... does the size of the video or pictures affect the speed? Does the number of tracks i use affect the speed? is there a certain setting? Ive tried many kinds of file types: avi, mov, rmvb, mpeg2... but all of them are relatively slow. Any information, help, or suggestions is much appretiated.
2. The video preview is laggy for me. Not editing laggy, but when i playback the video doesnt sycronize on certain complex scenes i edit. Sometimes it doesnt show much in certain video and picture files i use. Also, if i do some movement editing, the preview gets laggy again. For an example, i do a simple motion step for a picture or video (pan from left to right or something) and at first it is smooth in preview, but when it hits the panning, it starts to lag. What am i doing wrong? or is it because my computer is not good enough? Is there a certain settings for better preview?
