  Choppy Playback in 8.6.1

  Posted by John Keating on August 7, 2016 at 1:16 pm

  I recently upgraded from 8.4 to 8.6.

  Everything was running fine and then today when I went to play my files they played back choppy. I reduced the resolution to the lowest setting and that fixed it for the moment.

  I have a GTX 670 card and 24 gigs of ram. Im using the suggested driver that works with 8.4.

  Not sure what to look for next.

  It appears that I solved this problem. However, I don’t understand how.

  The only files that were running choppy were files shot on the c300 (XF files).

  I downloaded the new ama link for it and it appears that I have solved the issue. I just don’t understand why it worked. All the files I was running were consolidated into the preferred .mxf files that Avid loves so dearly.

  Why would the ama link update for canon fix such a thing? Weren’t those files converted and no longer being referenced via ama link?
