Northwind I’ve formatted my old (very expensive 8 years ago) laptop in the hope of just basic video editing for now until I can afford to build something that sings and dances.
With a fresh (XP) install 720 vid plays smooth with QuickTime.
I wanted basic editing capability which I don’t see why it wont if my old pile of chips will play the raw footage smoothly.
Downloaded handbrake and got a message about an out of date .net framework so updated that and got another error message so tried MPEG streamclip which seems dead easy to use. Started a 10 minute 720 video converting from mp4 to avi at 1430 today for it still not to be done at 1800. Microsoft ‘kin updates might have something to do with that though. It’s done about 120 today.
By the way Northwind knockhill was wetter than that when I stood in that spot
EDIT – I downloaded a trial of Vegas 10 but it won’t play any where near as smoothly as I need it to.
