It is not fully automatic - it pops up and says update available - and this one said "Highly Recommended to resolve issues" However, I already checked my memory allocations - it is allowed 11 gb - leaving 5 GB to other programs -- it will take it down to 2GB left and then pause --- this is with no other software running - including mail.
I have already switched the memory settings from performance to memory - both to no avail. However, breaking it into 1 min clips is helping -- but with 30 min of video to render - and then re-arrange - I am going to have to spend an all-nigher to insure this is completed.
Thanks for the advice though - much appreciated.
