Thanks Jeff…not sure how to do color correction “snapshots” but
I will do a search on this term and see what I can find.

It sure is nice to have access to the experts here on the COW!

Thanks for all who help!

[Jeff Schroeder] “Tell us something about your computer (specs). You should be able to edit just fine if, after applying color correction and whatever, disable the fx in the video preview window, and lower the preview quality. (don’t use good or best.) Some i5 and most i7 machines can handle this”

Hi Jeff
Well I mis-spoke on the specs before,its a AMD Phenom II 1065T 6-core processor with 8 gigs of Ram,Radeon 1 gig 6850 Graphics card,one 2t hard disk,and 3t external.
I do usually have to lower the preview to good for smooth playback.
So color correction and all VX,FX done on each trimmed clip? Is this
how you would handle the 7-hours of footage,or render each trimmed,color corrected clip to later bring back into the final product?

Thanks for the help Jeff!

Thanks Philippe

By doing this clip by clip (trimmer then timeline) ,do you think Vegas will
choke?..I have a fast machine core I7 ,8gig ram,two monitors.I just do not want any Vegas crashes(or preview problems) during a long edit if I can avoid it by breaking the 30 min final product up into say..6-minute segments then putting it back together for the final render. Does this make sense or am I being overly cautious on this?

Thanks for the help!
