Elements 10 keeps crashing when previewing my video

Question

Windows 7 home premium SP1 64bit OS
3.84gb RAM
(no other programs running at the time)
Elements 10.0 (20110902.Mol11.B123.280463)
I've got a soundtrack and a few clips and sometimes when previewing the video it'll start out ok and then when it begins trying to play the first clip it'll just encounter an error and shut itself down. Reopening the file normally lets it work fine for a while but sometimes not. I've rendered the clips too.
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

This video and that audio are not going to work well in Premiere Elements, unfortunately.
Your best bet is to use the project settings for Flip Mino HD to edit your video. And by all means convert that audio file to a WAV! (The free download Audacity will do it.)
You're still going to have to render often as you work. (Press Enter whenever you see red lines above the clips on your timeline. When they're rendered they'll turn green.) You don't say how fast your projecessor is -- but you should get pretty decent editing performance with this video if you've got a quad core or i7 processor.
And check out my free 8 part Basic Training tutorials. They cover the relevant aspects of the basics possibly better than Lynda's tutorials.
