I have a 58 minute .avi clip that I need to work with - whenever I pull it into the Vegas - it either freezes, does not build audio peaks or both. Should I be pulling smaller clips onto the timeline and then combining them later for rendering? I believe my hardware specs are fine ( 1gig ram, 2.6 processor, separate hard drive) Thanks in advance for your help. Probably a newbie question, but this is the best forum out there for answers...
