I have been testing Premiere Element 10 on the PC I have in my signature. I'm finding that things move along not overly slow.
I seem to meet Adobes minimum specs.
I am only trying two clips that total less than 5 minutes.
I added a transition and rolling text. The render time is not bad.(Soft render..hit enter key) It's HDV footage from my Canon HV40.
With that being said my CPU IS AT 100% most of the time and my memory at about 1.25 GB as seen in Task Manager.
With my CPU at 100% most of the time does that cause any harm or maybe shorten the life of CPU?
