Hi Guys
This is weird! I'm using 10E and during weddings I go around the guest tables so the bride has a record of who was there. To make it easy I go around table 1 and then point the cam at the floor until I get to table 2 etc etc so I have all the tables on one clip but with footage of the floor that needs to be edited.
OK, the way I do it on the timeline is play the clip until the end of table1 and then cut... I then drag the front edge of the clip along until I get to the start of table2, drag the complete clip so it crossfades onto the first then play the next piece and repeat the process by cutting and then dragging the front of the clip again until I come to table 3. After about 4 or 5 sequences the NLE freezes the preview and I get the dreaded "Vegas is not responding" .... I have to exit and start over from where I saved the project.
If I DON'T drag the front end of the clip to discard the junk footage but simply play and cut and then play again and cut and finally delete all the rubbish bits I get NO freeze ever!!
If you drag the front end of a clip to shorten it does that maybe eat up memory for some reason???
Anyone know??
