Hi there, I'm having real problems with lag in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. To call the video playback issues 'lag' would be an insult to lag its so bad. In a brand new project, with one clip imported, the preview screen playes at a rate of about 1 frame per 10 seconds. The audio is fine, but the video barely moves at all. This makes it totally impossible to edit anything, because I cannot see the video at all.
I'm not being stupid trying to run the software on a low-performance machine, my specs are:
HP DV5-1111ea laptop
AMD Turion X2 64 processor
ATI Radeon HD 3450 Graphics Card
250GB hard drive (120GB free)
4 GB RAM
Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit version)
My computer is capable of running High Definition video games, and I can't believe that Premiere Pro would require so much more power. I think that it may be my video card as it has been fussy with other software in the past.
I would really appreciate any help that you can give me, I need to be able to use the editing suite for my film studies A Level, and I think other people must have had this problem too.
