The playback in the timeline is pretty choppy, or at least not smooth.
When I press the space bar to stop the play back, the cursor doesn't stop right away and jumps a couple frames ahead.
So of course I can not edit in these conditions.
I played around with the playback options RT/Dynamic.... but nothing makes a difference (unless I set it wrong... dynamic is the best for playback right?)
I am working off of avi files captured off my crappy camera.
What else....
Oh, no graphics or animation or multi layers of video...
My system is a Powermac G4 dual / 512mb.
Thanks for helping.
