How do I make video editing less laggy in PS cs6?

I'm using Photoshop CS6 to edit some video clips together, but it's super laggy. How do I make it so it's less laggy? Will putting my video files on an external harddrive work?
I'm using a MacBook Pro which is fast, but the video editor eats up my computer's speed like tiger.

Welcome to the forum.
First, what are the full specs. of those Video files? On a Mac, you can use the utility, Media Inspector, to get the full details.
What are the specs. of your MBP, and especially the CPU speed, and number of cores? The reason for this info, is that if you have any form of the H.264 CODEC in those Video files, you will need a very fast CPU to smoothly handle them.
As for the external HDD, that will depend entirely on the connection type/speed, and then the speed of the HDD itself - you want at least 7200RPM. For connection type, you want an absolute minimum of FireWire 800 (IEEE-1394b), and USB 3.0 (not USB 2.0), or eSATA will be even better. If you do not have H.264 material, then the I/O (Input/Output) will be the biggest bottleneck - with H.264, then the CPU is the biggest bottleneck.
Let us know a bit more please, and good luck,
Hunt

    Hi Kaz1,
    The Word document should be editable after the conversion is complete.  What happens when you try to edit it?

    How do I make my keypad less sensitive?
    It regularly changes font size, flies away pages that I'm working on and other irritating things without me actually touching it (although hands would be hovering above it)?

    Hi
    Touchpad settings can be changed in control panel -> mouse -> last tab (advanced)
    Now click on the button (Advanced settings)
    Here you will see all available options for touchpad.
    The touchpad sensitivity could be changed there.

    Kindly explain the exact configuration of Video Editing Suite: Adobe premiere pro CS6.1, its price in India and if it is also equipped to edit photographs too.

    This is a user to user forum.  We are not Adobe.  For pricing information, you need to contact Adobe Sales in India.
    Premiere Pro is just for editing video.  Photoshop or Photoshop Elements is for editing photographs.

  • How do I make "destructive edits" in Lightroom like I do in ACR?

    Hey Guys,
    I recently made the switch from editing in Adobe Camera Raw to Lightroom and am disliking some of the workflow. I really enjoyed how in ACR the edits to my photos would save as soon as I hit done. There are many times were I need to close out of my of editing software quickly and don't have time to export everything out of light room. So as the question states, how do I make Lightroom save the changes I make to photos instantaneously without having to export them?
    Thank in advance,
    Matt

    I assume you are using XMP files with Camera Raw. You can do that with Lightroom if you choose the option to write changes to XMP sidecar files in your Lightroom preferences. But if you use a Lightroom with its default setup the adjustments you make are stored immediately in the catalog. You can stop and close Lightroom at any point, and when you return Lightroom will retrieve from the catalog all the adjustments you have made to whatever image you have highlighted in the develop module, or in the library module as far as that goes. I have chosen not to use XMP sidecar files, and rely on my catalog to store all of my Lightroom adjustments. Again, making an adjustment in Lightroom creates a history step in the catalog immediately. There's no need to export in order to keep all of your adjustments.
    Incidentally, regardless of how you set up your workflow, you cannot make "destructive" edits using Lightroom. Your master images always remain unmodified as far as the file contents are concerned.

  • How Can We make video files of images in Flex

    Hi
          Can Any body tell me how can i make a video file of images in flex.Please tell me wether its possible in Flex. to combine images to make a video file.
    Regards
    Vineet osho

    Ok,
    Let me take this example.
    Supposing A vendor with 3 AP open items, B vendor with 2 AP open items.
    When making a payment proposal, SAP shows only 2 lines, namely, collected by vendor code.
    Looking at DME file, however, it shows 5 lines which means all individual open items.
    What we want to make is 2 lines in DME file, which means grouping invoices by vendor in a DME file.
    Hope it makse sense.

  • How can I make an editable pdf file from Indesign?

    I have created a Indesign dealer catalog for my company and exported it into a interactive PDF for the Engineers to use when helping a customer with ordering. Now they would like to be able to edit the PDF with notes whenever they want. How can they do this?

    PDFs are not designed to be editable. Your engineers can make comments using Adobe Reader without any extra steps provided they use the highlight and sticky note comments. If you want them to have access to the full range of comment markup you will need to use Acrobat to apply extended rights to the file.

  • Whenever I play a video the flash player logo shows and I have to click it first. How can I make videos play automatically?

    Every time I go to play a video the F symbol appears and I have to click it each time to play the video. Alternatively I have to right click the page and go into "no script" and allow that particular page. This didnt use to happen until recently. Running windows vista Firefox 3.6.
    thanks

    If you use extensions like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    You need to check the (global) settings in NoScript to see how you can unblock Flash content.

  • How can I make the edited photo appear in my folder?

    Hi! This is my first post here, and I've just acquired Lightroom after having worked with ACDSee Pro (currently v6) for some years. I love taking photos and editing them later if necessary.
    I understand that LR works differently to ACDSee, with the catalogue and all, and I've successfully imported my picture folders into my new LR catalogue. What I haven't yet been able to grasp is what LR does with my edited photos. When I edit (develop) a picture in ACDSee, the edited version of that photo appears in my original folder as soon as I have finished editing it.
    With LR, after having done my processing all I can see in my folder is the original, unedited picture. The edits are only visible in LR, but not anywhere else. I'd like to see the edited photo in my folder so that I can use it, for example, for screen saver slide shows. I don't want to go and look for this edited picture in any place other than its original folder, and neither do I want to have two copies of it, namely the original and the edited version, in that folder. All I care for at this point is the edited version since the original can be restored at any time from within LR, or at least I think this how it should be since that's how I did it with ACDSee if I wanted to go back to the original picture.
    Is there any way I can achieve what I'm looking for with LR?
    Thank you very much for your assistance for a total LR beginner.

    and neither do I want to have two copies of it, namely the original and the edited version, in that folder
    I don't think this is possible, given the normal way Lightroom works. You have the original (the image contained in this file is never modified by Lightroom) and you will have the export.
    Note: you could instruct Lightroom to overwrite your original (if it was a JPG or TIF or PSD, but not a RAW), however this is extremely discouraged and your original would be gone. Your assumption "since the original can be restored at any time from within LR" is incorrect, that is not how Lightroom works if you overwrite the original JPG TIF or PSD (which of course is just one of several reasons why this approach is extremely discouraged).

  • How can I make comments Editable for the users?

    Good day,
    How to give edit rights for  the user to edit his comment?
    If anyone can point me to a tutorial on how to do this or even give me a few tips, would be greatly appreciated!.
    Thanks

    I think we need a bit more information. Most importantly:
    #1 Edit comments where?
    #2 What technologies are you using? (PHP, Cold Fusion, etc)
    #3 A link to actual site would be most helpful

    Best to start a new thread.
    Light Rays was installed with Motion. There is only one "light rays" effect so what do you mean by the "effects" are not loading? Do you mean the rendered clips don't load or the effect has gone missing?

  • How do I make Video playlists?

    I searched for this one and found it to be no help, when I upload videos to my ipod they just go under movies, could someone give me a step by step?
    Thanks!

    Make a playlist just like you would for music. Call it whatever "Cartoons" manually drag all the video files you want into this folder. You can now access these files throught the playlist function and also through the video menu (however in the video menu, all your movies will be listed here). I have mine set up for Pop Videos. Rock Videos etc. to keep from having to sort through a huge list. Don't mix music and videos together.
