Wondering what some opinions are on this...

For instance it's quite easy to select a specific region in a QT movie for playback in Jitter.

I guess I want to know what is more CPU friendly.. a) loading in a large clip (a few minutes or so) and sampling from this movie for playback,,, or b) cutting up the movie in a nother app like iMovie or Fincal Cut and loading in the smaller movie files as needed.

For instance it's quite easy to select a specific region in a QT movie for playback in Jitter. 

long-clips-vs-short-clips

if your computer can fit the movie into memory it can be cheaper to have a

long movie containing samples and to use loopPoints.

loading a new movie can have take time. search for preroll, loadram and
