The Version of Premiere I have is 5.0.0. It's the student edition, I got it in 2010.
Operating system Mac OS X v10.6.8
H.264 1920 x 1080
I'm not getting any error messages, just a ton of beachballs when I try and do simple tasks like drag a clip from one part of the timeline to the another place in the timeline.
I don't remember getting this many beachballs when I had the factory RAM in my macbook which was only 4 gb. I set the preferences to 6.5 gb of RAM allowance with the 8gbs of RAM but I look at the activity monitor and only 3-4 gb of RAM is being used except when I render and I get a ton of spinning beachballs.
I am running Safari and Spotify along with premiere
I have Magic Bullet Looks which runs fine
Processor Speed 2.66ghz
