Which specific processor do you have? ("Amply powered" is bit vague)

What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what is the format and resolution of this video?

When you first add your video to your timeline, do you see a yellow orange "render" line over the clips? A render line indicates that your project settings are not properly configured to match your video specs, which can result is poor performance.

Unfortunately you're not giving us nearly enough information to be able to help you, Bigian.

Meantime, two things to try.

1) Go the preferences (under the Edit menu on a PC) and, on the General page, uncheck the option to use Hardware Acceleration.

2) Download and install Quicktime 7, since you are trying to work with MOV files.

QuickTime 7.6 for Windows

If those ideas don't work, we'll need to get more detailed information from you.

Quicktime 7.7.9 installed, tried unchecking box but no change.

When closing program it will not shut down correctly and have to check box check for online solution. Then shuts down but on restart box in 'general' I unticked is ticked again.

Have tried various formats when box for hardware acceleration unticked still nothing.

Photo editor works fine.

Will be happy to supply any details you require.

All help appreciated.

Purchased this as have used elements since version 8 released for photography, was moving to drone and underwater photography/movies and went this way.

Have Ashampoo movie studio pro 2 which is older and works flawlessly and this was my upgrade.

Hoping for solution but in reality if this is beyond solution will contact Adobe for rebate and go for Power director 15 ultimate.

In saying that a solution is always best....... I do thank you for your time.

cheers.

What I will do is go for a dedicated editor such as Power Director 16 for my main computer for finalisation of edit and filing.

I must thank you for you for your input as this is first time on this type of communication and help
