Very slow editing problem on longer videos. Any help or suggestions.....

When I import video, I usually work on projects that are up to 90 to 120 minutes. As I work on the project, doing more edits, subtitles, transitions, etc, the editing becomes extremely slow. In fact, right now I'm close to the end of a 90 minute project. Every change I make, the swirling rainbow of death runs 10-15 seconds with each edit. Yesterday I worked on the project about 3 hours, and got 15 minutes worth of work done. Does this happen to anyone else. It's been this way for me on both my G5 Powermac, and my MacBook Pro eversince I switched to iMovie 8. I have PLENTY of Ram, and I save my projects on my Powermac to a fast internal data only drive. Is there a way to optimize settings to change this problem. I have the most recent upgrade of Leopard and plenty of disc space. HELP!!

    Installed update (11.0.08). App still crashes if I try to edit text and images. Any help?
    1)Specs:  Alienware M17 R4 (laptop)
    GPU: GeForce GTX 675M
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)  i73840QM CPU @ 2.80GHz

    2) There is no error message. Acrobat simply closes on me without warning. The program stays open for a brief time, but then closes at random.
    3) I have tried running it as an admin, but it does not change anything. The program still closes without my consent.
    4) I have tried installing and reinstalling multiple times. It does not work even if I do not get the update (11.0.08)

    In that case we might want to have a look at the crash logs to check what is failing.
    How to create a user-mode process dump file in Windows Vista and in Windows 7
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931673
    Also please be aware that if you are using a 64-bit system you need to follow a different procedure to collect the DMP file to avoid us getting  this error from the IDE when attempting to view the file “Debugging a 64-bit dump of a 32-bit process is not supported, please collect a 32-bit dump of a 32-bit process."
    You can get the correct dump by going to the location referenced in this blog excerpt:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/amb/archive/2011/05/12/do-not-collect-32bit-process-dumps-with-64b it-task-manager.aspx
    So, you need to use 32bit debugger, if you would like to collect a dump of a 32bit process. So, if your process is 32bit, then you need to run 32bit version of the task manager on a 64bit OS. 32bit task manager is located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder and the name of the file is taskmgr.exe.

    Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • Flash player encounter problems that long video are cut to a lot of 6:00 seconds small videos

    A lot of times, when I use my 2013 13'' macbook pro retina notebook's Safari to view flash video, the  long video are cut to a lot of about 6:00 seconds small videos, and when one pieces of them played over, the next piece is not start. So I need to manully change to the next small video. That's very stupid!
    Now my resolution is to reinstall flash player, or restart my notebook, or ..... I don't know the exactly resolution, but when I do that, maybe the problem is solved. Long video does not cut to a lot of small videos.
    But the problem is always occur maybe later everyday!
    I want to know why long video are cut to a lot of small videos. How to solve that problems!

    Try un-installing Flash and then re-installing.
