Thx for telling me how to find this out, i never knew exactly what kind of file my Digital Camer created.

This is Raw footage from my camera to my pc, i havn’t run it threw a nle yet because Premerie wouldn’t run in real time either. But i could ru it threw magix and get it ready for AE, when doen it would only be about a minute long. (its a teaser for a movie i am makign later this year) very simular to terminator 2 where lighting is crawling on the floor then on to the guy, thats it.

So is that the problem, i need to export it from my nle and then edit it in after effetcs? what type of file should i export it to? for best AE results.

And your also saying when i edit in AE it shouldn’t be in real time anyway? I understand that, guess I just need to get used to that method.

BTW thank you all for so much help thus far. I’d be lost without you.

How can i figure out what Codec the video has?

Would converting it be a good option? I really don’t want to lose the shot so if losing some quality is a must then i will live with that.

I only have Adobe open when editing. It’s strage because my PC was the most expensive pc in best buy september 2008, i can play any game out on MAx settings, and I also can edit this video Footage in Magix Movie Edit Pro 14 no problem.

Affter Effects is what i really want to use to add Lighting to this guy in the shot, Should i be recording in a diffrent file format or with a diffrent kind of camera? I see alot of people on youtube use simple web cams to make many videos they then edit with Adobe, so is there a way to donwgrade the file to make it run better? Or should i go back to something like cs3?
