  Copying and pasting clips takes forever!

  Posted by Javier Leiva on June 8, 2005 at 6:01 pm

  When I copy and paste a clip on the timeline, my machine freaks out. It takes 10 mins to copy and the same amount of time to paste. I’ve never had this issue until recently. Now, I know this sounds like a RAM issue… but I’ve never had this problem before and my RAM is the same. Does it have anything to do with my scratch disk? Has anyone encountered this problem?

  First thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.

  Next:
  THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
  “Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”

  Click the following link for instructions on how to do this.

  https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/trashing_fcp_prefs.html

  Another method is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
  There are versions for FCP & FCE.
