Under another topic you mentioned:
"If your computer isn't powerful enough to handle the AVCHD source, Premiere Pro CS5 has the ability to set the sequence preview resolution to a lower value than the frame size. This will lower the preview quality, but you will be able to play back previews in real time that the computer cannot play back at full frame size. This won't affect the quality of the edited video. You can export the completed video at full resolution. Alternately, you can choose to convert the video to a less computationally intensive format and edit that."
My computer is a 2-core and has 4.00 gb RAM
I have shot AVCHD videos and considering what you said above, what setting would you recommend I use? ...DV-NTSC?
Also as an alternative, how do I convert the video to a lesser format? I am not too enthused about this option but would like to know in case I find it necessary to do so.
Thanks.
Do you think setting the resoluction to DV
