  Laptop video playback stutter solved

  Posted by Don Smith on January 20, 2012 at 9:26 pm

  When a friend showed me how her laptop was stuttering on video playback in FCPX I immediately started over-thinking the problem. In searching for the answer I found many posts on several forums with a similar problem but no solution. After two days, I awoke in the middle of the night and remembered that her laptop was older than mine and thus graphic card switching was not automatic as I had been assuming. Sure enough, in the Energy panel on her laptop, the battery-saving low-power graphics card was enabled. Prior to mid-2010, you had to manually change the graphic card selection and log out and log back in for the selection to take effect. Once I did the swtich for my friend, her laptop video playback returned to normal.

  Interesting. You should send FCPX Feedback to Apple on this. I’d think it should be in their KBase.
