[Jeff Pulera] “d hard drive for your videos. Don’t put them on the C: drive. A 7200rpm SATA drive is recommended, and do”

thanks jeff, I assumed 8800gt was more than enough for basic 1080p editing, apparently not though. Alright onto searching for a good deal on a new card!

I just tried the little sunburst looking switch and it screwed up my precomp. inside the precomp are 3d layers and when I turn on the switch it throws everything off. I’m going to watch the video about The Naked Truth About Collapse Transformations and see if theres anything in there

edit: the resolution didn’t seem to fix with the switch turned on either

edit2: just watched the video and it was pretty interesting! Although not useful to solving my problem because turning on the collapse transformation re-turns the layers into 3d layers which is something I was trying to avoid in the first place by pre-composing. So I’ll just think its safe to assume that what I am trying to do isn’t possible and just start working on another way. Thanks for the reply though!

I tried using the precomp without the rasterize being used I couldnt tell a difference in speed but there was no shaking with any effects. I notced the draft switch and turned it to draft mode and there was a big difference in speed, but then the shaking came back. Also I tested this using the original raw material with a 1280×720 comp.

Thanks for the reply, I am a little confused when you mentioned that I don’t need to have checked continuously rasterize isn’t rasterizing for vector pictures? also my other problem is prerendering. What I used to render before was the cineform codec that came licensed only for vegas, and haven’t found any other decent codecs out there. I hear everyone talking about using the animation or photo jpeg codec with quicktime but from what I remember the file sizes were pretty big and was slow when editing, might as well stick with uncompressed avi.
