But that is just it when the program is running I still have 1.22 gb of ram free so It should be running fine! Also How do you save the video so you can open it later in a window's media file to preview or how do you watch it after your finished?
Previewing a video in Vegas is a VERY resource intensive task, and it's not ram. 99% of the limit comes from your processor and your video card. Get used to it being choppy, it takes a LOT of computer to be able to smoothly preview video.
As far as "How do you save the video so you can open it later in a window's media file to preview or how do you watch it after your finished?" That's called 'rendering.' It's one of the buttons up on the top left of the main screen, and it involves a lotta output settings. For now pick a preset that's close to what you want to put out and let it do it's thing. EXPECT it to take an hour or so to render the vid, be happy if it's less.
Vegas is an extremely powerful, extremely complicated program with a near vertical learning curve. If you really need to know how to do something the best thing you can do is search it on YouTube. For the most part the different generations of Vegas operate the same, so dig up a tutorial that tells you how to do what you want to do and start learning. It's going to take a while to really get the hang of using that program.
