Freezing when using long videos

Did you try “Proxy Editing” like @MusicalBox suggested in your other post Freezing when two videos are in the output - #2 by MusicalBox? It lowers the resolution of the clips you are editing, so the processor has much less work to do, which should stop the “freezing”, then when you export it uses the original, higher resolution clips.

This has worked for me and many others.
