hi,
I'm using flash cs3 to animate a 70 minute cartoon, on my 1.83 ghz, mac mini, with 1gb ram and 80g hd.
Since November 08 I've animated about 18 minutes of footage. I have about 3.03 gb of files saved. And all of a sudden my mac mini starts crapping out on me. I can't export any animation over 5 seconds long, it crashes and I have to close the program. So, I took off all 3.03 gb of files and put it on an external hd.
So, cs3 flash is still buggy, and crashed after i transferred all the files off the mac mini.
I realize 1gb isn't so hot for this. I was thinking of getting a new mac mini. With specs, 4gb ram, standard hd, 2.26 ghz.
And possibly, keep my current mac mini to hold all the files, and use the new mac mini to create and then transfer to the old mac mini. Keeping the workload on the new mini light so hopefully cs3 won't keep crashing.
Think this will work? With some sort of tweaking to find what works best. Or is cs3 just crappy in general?
