Where to begin... Well I have tried a few programs WMM, Magix, Vegas 6 & 7 yet the same problems keep resurfacing, Basically the programs will run very slow, making it nearlly impossible to edit a video. If I put a few clips on the time line, or a simple effect the program will lag when I try and watch what I just did. So I have to keep rendering the file and checking it that way. Also, with Magix its been acting really weird latelly, it wont let me export in any way other then MPEG or WMV (although there are options for unconpressed and avi when I click on them they do not work, when I first bought the program it worked fine. the only thing I installed wich i thought might be screwing with it was FFDshow) So since Magix was giving me problems I tried the trial of Vegas but low and behold the same stalling problem that I had with Magix. When it comes to codecs I think iv tried everything possible, all with the same result. HuffYuv and uncomressed will actually make it lag much more so, then if im using a DIVX. Since Vegas 6 is now at about $100 I was going to upgrade. Or if any one knows what I did to break Magix id stick with that (since I just paid $50 for it a few months ago) As much as id say this sounds like my computer, I dont think my computer is all that slow (Forgive me, I dont know that much when it comes to computer hardware)
My computer:
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
2.01 GHz 1.5 GB RAM
Sorry for the long rant of a post but basically my question is, Does everyone exsperiance this problem? Did I do something to make these programs not work? Or is my computer just slow? Id appreciate any tips someone might be able to give, thank you
