  final cut express suddenly shows too much beachball

  Posted by Chris Langerhorst on May 26, 2010 at 10:40 am

  I am editing in FCE on a Macbook ( 120 GB HD / Lacie ex HD / 4 GB RAM memory ) since recently, when I open FCE I have to watch a lot of beachball when I play back material etc.
  When I add titles etc. it ‘ suddenly’ brings out a little render screen ( it never was like that before )
  I have ajusted the preferences etc. according to the way it is described in Tom Wolsky’s book on FCE .
  The beachball appeares too when I work with material that is on my internal drive .
  I have tried :
  -deleting the pref’s
  -turning down the percentage of memory use of the application to 80 and 90 percent .
  -changing firewire to USB

  Nothing really made a diffirence , any ideas very welcome !
  thanks in advance for your reply …
