today was my day for fulfilling a promise made months ago, to put together a video of a friend’s wedding i videotaped. i’ve been running into a roadblock. my new imac keeps giving me a message that it has run out of memory and to quit any applications that are open. then imovie quits, and that kept repeating.
so i called the apple support team specializing in imovie issues and spent almost an hour with one of their knowledgeable experts. finally, she determined that the problem is likely not enough ram. i do have extra ram, which was recommended by b&h, where i purchased my new imac. so tomorrow morning i’ll install it, if i can figure out how, and see if that resoleves the issue. i’m so thrilled with my new imac, after 10 years of working on a 10 year old machine that was painfully slow, that i’m pretty relaxed about all these roadblocks.
i had planned on continuing my new series of creek inspired collages today, but i’m committed to getting this video completed before we travel to new mexico to visit our newly married friends.
