    hi
    after a couple of minutes playing back video on avid xpress pro,the video stops playing like it ran out of memory or something and I have to restart my computer.
    I have 1gb ram
    oh and sometimes I get an error message “too many preloads”
    does anyone can help?

    First, get more memory.

    You can set how much video is buffered into memory. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the command (you type it in the console, and if you type in the wrong thing, you can do some serious damage…)

    Do a search in Avid help on ‘play length’ (I would, but I’m in my Homer jammies at the moment…)
