hi everybody, i'm going to have a gig very soon where i'll use clips at least one minute long and i'm looking for the best setting not to have unpleasant pauses (frozen screen) between one clip opening and another one...
i'm working with powerbook G4, 1.67, 2 GB ram and clips compressed in photoJPEG 75 or 100 320x240...
i've been trying different settings, i'm actually working with 30 MBytes and 256 MBytes memory settings...
does anybody experimented some "best settings" for this kind of clip duration???

another question: does anybody know a manual or shortcut guide for modules script programming?

thanks by now, best regards.

I think you need to RTFM. There is a very important section regarding memory. Basicly make sure your clips are set for compressed memory.

Basicly it sounds like you are crippling M8 by not giving it enough memory. The clips are proberly being streamed from disk rather than run from compressed memory.

The clips should load fine if you have M8 set correctly.
I have the same spec laptop i get very good performance
In preferences > Media
set the values too
when imported 64MB, Start releasing memory 80%, Max preload 1664 MB.

I must admit i do have the 128MB graphics card which helps.
