    Hi all

    Just upgraded to Studio2 and just as before, my motion is stop and go. I am using a g5 dual 2ghz 3 gb sdram.

    aty r350 128mb video card.

    Do I need more memory and a new video card to stop this from happening. I cannot run motion and it is annoying.

    Please help

    Thanks

    A video card will help Motion, but RAM is also good for overall performance of the Mac.

    get the video card first (get one w/512 MB of VideoRam) and then if that doesn’t work for you, add another Gig of RAM.

    Eventually, you will want to get an intel computer to make FCP.ProRes shine.
