If im not mistaken, that setup doesnt really work. I had that same video card in my last computer. . . You need a "dedicated" graphics card to be able to handle HD editing. The Intel HD graphics (integrated) cant handle the demand of my software.(Tech support pointed that out to me when my squidness thought the editor was the reason for all my problems)

Plus Laptops aren't really #1 choice for video editing programs to be used on.
