Hello,
I have been working with Media Composer 6.5 and just moved from a Windows 7 operating machine to Windows 8. I brought up my project and media composer is running incredibly slow. My machine has an Intel Core -7 3.40GHz Processor with 16 GB of ram. It is brand new, has only the Adobe suite and Media Composer installed on it. Any ideas why it would be so sluggish? It takes a while when zooming to load the timeline, and there is several seconds of delay before playback begins. It also takes some time to switch to different bins or resize windows, switch layouts, etc. Any ideas?
