Gents,
I have a tiny bit of experience with Premere Pro 6.5 and am trying to learn the basics for starters!I'm trying to import about 20 minutes of footage at a time from tape so I can practice cutting with the razor tool.What happens is either one of two things:
a)After selecting the file or folder I let go of the mouse and nothing happens or:
b)I see the hour glass and the app locks up and freezes.Adobe stops "responding".Same thing happens over and over and over.
I personally saw this what should be a very basic,simple process successfully done in a studio last night,but after going home I could not duplicate what I saw demonstrated.I also couldn't see the audio waveforms dsiplayed on the timeline which would help me to know where to truncate the clip.
1)Is there a way I can allocate more memory to the program or is there a video cache involved?
2)What would prevent a successful capture into AP 6.5 so it can be cut & edited from within?
I tell you what really drives me crazy & perplexes me!I can input the same video clip with no problems to Window Movie Maker 2 (which was free) in about 2-3 minutes but Adobe crashes every time!It will not accept this avi file or any others tried.
3)Should my settings and preferences be set and saved to a certain combination to ensure better results or at least better my chances.
4)How much memory do I need,at a minumum...reccomended,etc.
A newbie at this.. just trying to make sense out of it.Please have patience and explain this mystery.
Thank you.
Bruce
