Thanks in advance..
Answer #1
What are your computer specs? (specifically memory). Adobe products require a fair amount of memory to run all of it’s processes, so if you don’t have enough, then that could be why it’s lagging.
Answer #2
my specs are :
Dual Core 2.2Ghz
RAM 2GB
Nvidia 8400gs ..
Please suggest me what do i need to change or upgrade?
Answer #3
2gigs of memory is minimum req. for running any of the Adobe programs. If you are wanting to be able to run it smoothly and be able to have background programs as well, then you’ll want to upgrade your ram. I recommend at least adding on another 2.
Answer #4
Have you rendered the preview first?

Also make sure you have the 64bit version of the software to make full use of the RAM you add.
