Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Saving seq in Symphony 4 takes 4ever

Hey TErry,
My seq is act one of a show. 8 1/2 minutes. cuts and a few whip pan
type of things. NO sapphire or Boris Plugins. few titles. nothing that
should make it take as long as it does.

i do have a few bins open, but again,i'm just putting the system
through it's paces, so there's not alot on the system, or in the bins.
