My Macbook Pro is very slow for light video editing
Hi Everyone,
My Macbook Pro is very slow that I can't use iMovie to edit simple views. The audio and video is always slow even when I watch a saved movie using Quicktime. I tried to quit everything and run only one app, but it's still slow. I tried to verify and repair my disk, I tried to look at what's taking most of my RAM space, but still I hate using this laptop now. I know it got high performance hardware, but it's not performing very well. Please help me ..
