Should I be getting beachball on rmbp 13?

[unbelievable99]

Hi everyone,

I've got a question. Should I be getting the beachball at all when exporting normal or hd videos at all on my rmbp 13? And should I be getting it whilst doing video editing with iMovie?

Thanks

Depending on your RAM amount, it can happen.

Open Activity Monitor and go to the System Memory* tab and look for Page Outs and Swap used and report back.

Using Activity Monitor to show you CPU and RAM usage​

* Mac OS X: Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor​

It says 0 for both(although I didn't check while the beachball was showing), but for page ins it says 995.5 mb. Should I check while doing a certain things (e.g: intensive work, or nothing, or while the beachball is showing) or is anytime fine?
