• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

How to allocate more ram to Final Cut 5

I want my Final Cut 5 to move more quick than it does. I hate wating for stuff to render. I went to preferences and made everything 100%. Is there another way that I'm missing? My system is the 2.5 quad with two 500 gb sata drives, 6.5gb ram, Nvidia 7800 graphics card.

I'd love any suggestions.

AFAIK You've done all you can do. After Effects has a RAM setting but I'm unsure of Final Cut. Rendering is just part of the process. You have pretty much the fastest computer on the market. Your wait is less than almost everyone's.

SPOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :p
