  Sluggish: Local or Network

  Posted by Chip Hess on August 8, 2008 at 4:33 pm

  We are working on an hour-long episode and I have the evening shift. So our gear has been up and running for eight hours before I open up my work. We are running MC 2.8 on a beefy Xeon PC. The facility is networked via Isis – all material is exchanged at the network level, the local machine just basically runs the software.

  MC has started slowing down to th point of really killing the workflow.
  For instance, when I click in the timeline, it often takes a good 5 to 6 seconds for the playhead to catch up and reposition itself.

  Is there anything I can do as an editor to fix this?
  I shutdown/restart will sometimes help temporarily, but not much.
  Is this a network issue, to be addressed by the techs, or something I can tweak in settings, etc.?

  Thanks so much!
