I am indeed trying to make a full HD video and the amount of data is big. 1.8 GB for 12 second video.
My composition settings are HDTV 1080 29.97.
When rendering I use Best Settings and Lossless.
My laptop I use for this is a Dell XPS M1530
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T9300 (2,50 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 6 MB L2-cache), 4 GB RAM, NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 8600M GT
Hard drive is a 500 GB SATA with 3.0 Gbps support.
I’ve played HD content before without any problem.
Dave, I’m trying to find the indicator you are talking about in Premiere but I cannot find it.
