Avid Cinema: Don‘t Adjust Memory Requirements (11/96)

After I raised the memory allocation for the Avid Cinema application the video stutters and there seem to be other QuickTime performance problems. What is wrong?


Adjusting the memory requirements of the Avid Cinema application through the "Get Info" window can have adverse effects on the performance of the application. For best results, do not adjust the Preferred Size or Minimum Size in the "Get Info" window. With virtual memory off, the correct settings for Avid Cinema 1.0 should be:

Minimum Size: 10000K
Preferred Size: 12000K
