wow i didnt think ppl would reply.. thanks just for that alone. im not too tech savvy but i tested out this morning deleting all of the big clps on the timeline. so i had 2 non-rendered clips about 14 sec each..played slow and lagd. i tried lowering res to 1/2 and already it stopped lagging!!! not much but its still progress..im going to keep trying to see how much i can have o my table before lag…oh and lets say that things go well…how do i export my scene back to its original quality? is it just a simple 1 2 click?
