"If your movie is in uncompressed format, then a 1920 x 1080 size file can be a huge burden for your computer or hard drive to playback."

Yep - the most common version of frozen playback. Just for argument, I'll guess it's a Quicktime Animation codec file - at full raster HD for highest quality - we all want our stuff to look good, right?

Well, it's too much... Your hard drive can read/write 16MB per second at best - you're looking at  file size that is in the 100MB  per second or above range.

Synergy543 is right - render it out as a compressed format.

This can be done in something like Premiere or Final Cut or After Effects (actually, AE would probably be best since it isn't going to try and strain itself by playing back a full speed) - you don't have to re-render through Vue.

If this is just so you can view what was rendered - making sure you got the lighting right, angles, etc. - then make it a smaller frame size. Try 1280x720. It's still HD, nice and clean, but using an even slightly compressed format would allow smoother playback.

Hope this helps-
