A few frames and then a big Blue preview screen

[Russ Fill]

I have a MacBook Pro Core Duo 2gig ram and when I import a clip and start to play it. It will play for a few frames and then go to a blue preview screen and the file and time code info goes red. Any info on how to make this not happen would be great. Is there a way to set pref's on the RedCine. I feel there is a buffer that fills and then I cant see the perview clips or is the video on my lappy not up to red?

Have gone from clips to 1080 QT clips before but now big blue.

I get the same thing on PC if I put multiple (more than 3 or 4) 4k clips in the timeline. I am wondering if it is RAM issue - I have only 2 gigs as well and redcine seems to be all over the place with RAM management.

Red Cine Build 82
PC (xp)
nvidia 8800

Im getting a message in the lower right hand corner of the blue screen that says Failed to lock image buffer. How do you lock it or where is the pref's to lock or unlock it?

REDCINE version?
Operating System?
OS version?

latest REDCINE version and OSX 10.4.11 I use AFX a lot so I have gone down the QT road and back up again to 7.3.1.
Im thinking I may need to upgrade my computer to the latest greatest MacBook Pro????? I hope not as I hope later this year after I have gotten my RED and figured it out a bit then I can spend a bunch of cash I don't have just to see the greatest 4K home movies ever.....
