Hello,
I need to do some video editing and my multimedia VM is too slow, video-audio is broken.

Is there some easy way to speed this up?
Perhaps does it make sense to assign 4 CPUs rather than default 2? 
Or closing other VMs?
Or may it be related to little memory (4GB)
Any experience?
Best
Franz

I would expect video editing to use a lot of memory and 4GB aren’t a lot to begin with, even if you stop EVERYTHING else. I presume your disk is spinning a lot due to extensive swapping?

The most promising way to remedy the situation is likely to add memory...

You probably will have to enable low-latency audio in dom0's /etc/qubes/guid.conf for the VM where you're doing audio editing.  If you don't, there will be a desynchronization of audio and video (this is deliberate).
