Agreed, try not to edit with mp3’s, also, saw where Adobe tech guy says 10.6.8 will run CS6 but you have better results with 10.7.x

FWIW

Double up your video layer.

Track one – blow it up to fill the screen. Blur it.
Track Two (Above) – leave at normal size, add a drop shadow.

Start there.

The render is fine.
Your hard drive is NOT faster enough to play back the file smoothly.
Is my guess.
What’s your data rate when rendering it out?
.h264/.mp4 is the way to go IMO.
Try a lower data rate.

Your needs are storage, not performance.

Buy 2 well known brand USB 3.0 hard drives with a 3-5 year warranty.
Redundancy is key for storage on hard drives.

Put in a iCal or some calendar reminder to spin up hard drives on the shelf every 6 months.

When you make the jump to HD, you’ll be amazed at how good your wedding video will look…
Your samples stills are not THAT blurry.
Customer will not even notice in the edit.
It’s SD!!!!!

Ya, put FCP on the new laptop, this will get your Prores/among others.
You don’t have to edit with it.

Can you remove the clip from the sequence?
In the Project Panel, Right/Cntrl click on the media, and there, you can modify it’s properties like mono/stereo.
