Andy3 --- end of quote --- I don't think size has much to do with it except when exporting. Generally the iMovie makes edits and changes quite briskly, unless you are using the new iMovie 3. Processor speed shows up in how smooth the display is: with my 466 mhz G4 in my Beige, the display is quite good. Processor speed shows up in rendering transitions, effects or titles. But these things don't depend on file size. Some depend on how much of the movie is selected to be processed. The faster the processor, the faster the process. This also applies to quicktime type exports. If you are exporting a large file that needs to be compressed a lot, a fast processor can save you an overnight run. But simple editing usually doesn't depend much on how fast your machine is. Hope this helps. Rich -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
