Computer problem????

[Hoott]

OKay i know my idiot dad shouldn't have bought a dell bet he did and im working with the cards im dealt here are my pc stats[/url]

edit to that is i have 512mb ram ......my dad is wlling to buy certain things for certain prices and i read this earlier post which mentioned two hard drives i have seen cheap ones with 120gb which is good so should i go ahead and convince my dad to add that

aannnndddd should i replace one of my two 256 stick with a 512 stic so i have a total of 768mb ram....however from what i have seen on the task manager my pro 1.5 doesn't take up ram just eats up CPU (like 95)
are there setting i should change


by the way the problem is slow rendering i am editing still images and using transition....i did a trial and last night for like 20 pics with transitions render was like 1 hour or sothing like tha......the very sad thing
:( :( the current project asinged by my dad is like 300 images with VO (although audio is never a problem)....
so please help !!!!!!!

well i did another test right now and i got these stats

19 pics
1 title
1 black matte
19 transitions inbetween the twenty vid clips

i got about a minute total with two renders one right after i put in the pictures and one right after i put in the transitions and title i got a bout 40 and 10 so the total is 50 sec so we can round that to a minute

so figuratively i could render my project of 300 at each 20 vid clips with 2 render (1 for pics and one for transitions)

so that would mean 15 render for each 20 pic segment X 2==> 30 total renders each at a minute

so if i do what i just said then the project should render in about 15 mins sence each 2 render for a 20 segment take about a min!!!! please get back i am still open to suggest and option for tweaking and any a suggestions!!!


P.S. i have one question is there a image to the default keyboard settings or a graphical way of editing the keyboard setting..... i know it is possible without the keyboard customization

THX a bunch any helpers!!!!

What is the speed of your processor?
What version of Adobe Premiere are you using?
What are the output options you are using?
Where are you located?
What are the dimensions of you pictures?
Why are you using Adobe Premiere for a slide show?
