Can I assign more memory to iMovie to make it run faster ?

I have 4 Gig on my MacBookPro. iMovie is at times sluggish and sometimes it completely hangs. When I check its resource usage using Activity Monitor, its at about 500MB and says Not Responding.
I am wondering if I can give it up to 2 Gig memory for it to operate hopefully faster.
How does one adjust its memory allocation ?
thanks

Hi Karsten, mine uses 2 cores (for both 0 and 09).
oops, missed that. I'm pretty sure, the first version were single core.. I stand corrected
Like you I have high hopes for a 64 bit version of iMovie, but I am not expecting it anytime soon.
not 64 bit, but better integrated into Snow Leopards new features.. imagine: using the Graficcard as Co-Processor for (DVD)-encoding.. OpenCL, using all cores for real-time rendering... more 'fun' with Quartz, CoreVideo and CoreAudio.. stuff like that..
what we know about QT_X is usage of h264 hardware acceleration ..
for consumer video, I see no use of 64bit processing...- but I could imagine tons of new, or say: improved features for the video enthusiast..
.. me speculating, sorry hosts.

  • Can I assign more than one Pricing procedures to the one vendor.

    Hi Gurus,
    Can I assign more than one Pricing procedures to the one vendor.
    If possible, where it can assign &give the procedure.
    My client requirement is :
    Vendor supply the goods from two different countries. So, pricing procedure is different because taxes are differ in two countries and currency also differs.
    If goods are supplying from country u2018Au2019 ,automatically pricing procedure for that country  was trigger. How the system know , which pricing schema is required.
    Give me solution

    Hi,
    Extend your vendor to new purchase organisation.  Assaign new pricing procedure to this Purchase organisation.
    Use different Purchase organisation while creating POs for the same vendor  procuring from different countries.

  • Can we assign more than one fieldgroup to a single event ?

    Hi,
    Can we assign more than one fieldgroup to an event ?
    I want pick few fields from each tab and show all those fields in my own tab is it possible to do so ?
    vishal

    Hello Vishal,
    To show together fields which belongs to different tabs (this is, in the same event), you could use Multigroup feature (Application Elements -> Tab Page Group -> Multigroup). This feature allows you to group several events (with different field groups associated in main layout table) in only one (the even which manages the tab).
    Hope this point help you.

  • Can I install more memory on a mac mini

    Can I install more memory on a mac mini?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. You can upgrade the RAM always that you do not have a Late 2014 Mac mini (I am not sure that you can install more RAM, and if you can, it will void the warranty), and you can purchase more RAM at OWC or Crucial.
    See -> Mac mini: How to remove or install memory - Apple Support

  • How can I add more memory to my iPad?

    How can I add more memory to my iPad?

    Memory refers to RAM, and can't be increased.
    I asume you mean storege space (like 16GB, 32GB, etc). It also can't be increased.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:
    Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

  • Can i add more memory to my macbook pro?

    It currently has 4 GB installed. Can I add more memory?

    Which model MBP do you have? 15" late 2011, for example.
    Go to the Crucial website and use the System Scanner tab to determine which upgrades are available for your model - you don't have to buy from Crucial, but they do offer some of the best RAM for Macs available.
    Good luck,

  • Can i get more memory as i only have 1 gb as my mac is 4 year old

    can i get more memory for my mac pro as its only 1gb 10.6.8 version

    you want to ask in the macbook pro forum I assume.
    regardless, yes you can and the model year (2008?) or MacBook Pro X,Y (number)
    www.macsales.com/memory is a good place to check what is available.
    I thought 2GB was req'd and 4GB would be strongly recommended for 10.6 and above.

  • While sync : can't allocate more memory !!!(WCE)

    Hi All,
    I'm synchronizing (/Orace/mSync.exe) several MB of data (not much more of 10 MB) on a CASSIOPEIA E-200 (64 MB) with a SD Card extension of 128 MB. While synchronizing, main memory decreases dramatically (main memory, not external memory) and finally i get the message:
    -2000 can't allocate more memory -2000:0
    Other synchronizations with a smaller amount of data are working ok.
    It is posible for a sync of ~10 MB to drain >40MB of main memory?? !!
    By now, i'm using the SD Card directory to store the synchronized client DB, but this is not enough to solve the problem.
    I think that temporary files and processes on main memory are involved in this problem. It is posible to use memory cards for this??
    Some ideas????
    Thanks in advance.
    Andris

    Humm,
    I think the problem may be the size of a single table replication.
    The replication of 10000 registers from this table is working ok, but replicating 25000 i get the error ("Can't allocate more memory").
    Anyone knows a limitation in the number of registers or size of a table replication????!!!
    Thanks!!

  • Can we assign more than one sales org to one company code ?

    can we assign more than one sales org to one company code ?
    or one as to one only ?
    why sales org is assigned at company code level why not on plant level ?
    regards

    Multiple sales organizations can be assigned to company code.
    Company code is the highest organizational unit and plant and sales organization are assigned to it.
    In the logistics module, Plant is the highest entity in the MM module and Sales organization is the highest entity in SD module. Basically with this assignment of plant and sales org to company code all the financial accounts are updated.
    Assigning of Sales org to company code and not to plant is the standard functionality that helps map most business processes.

  • Can i buy more memory

    Can I get more memory for my ipod touch 4g.

    Hi,
    All Apple products are closed (unopenable) so they cannot be opened, and that means you can't put any new items inside.
    Hope this helps!

    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.
