Is there a work around?

When editing a project I can put very large images in the timeline and when I navigate away from Vegas (browsing Goggle) when I come back I instantly can start editing. However, when I place a large video in the timeline I am getting about a 3 second (hourglass) delay. Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Randy

See if this helps:

Go to Options, Preferences. On the General tab, uncheck Close media files when not the active application.

3 seconds?!? - Sheer luxury . . !! We lived 12 to a shoe box in t'middle of motorway, and our dad used to get us up 1 hour before we went to bed!

3 seconds . . . luxury . .

Grazie

Are there quicktime video files on the timeline?

Hi Marc, actually an HD one at 60mb. Once you said that my light bulb lit up because when I open these files on my desktop they take so long to open but not when I open it another player. This proves that Mac is not always better.

Thanks for the good observation.
