  Don’t want to seem as unprofessional with my client. That damm orange line fcp7. Miracle please

  Fcp7
  Mac Os 10.6.4
  250 SSD drive 3.2 Ghz Intel Core i3
  12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

  This is my last fcp7 project , im done with it. I must switch asap to FcpX or Premiere CC.

  I just bought a 250 Ssd card for my 2010 Imac.
  So I re-installed fcp7.

  My sequence and clips are Prores422
  My problem is that I cannot run videos fluently because of that damm orange line. I’m trying to to multicam 2 ways. 1 Professional way and one survival/ I do what I can / Guetto way. My clips and scratch come from an external hard drive

  1. MULTICAM
  These are my settings

  

  Even through low playbacks 3 clips in one multiclip sequence (all in prores) don’t run fluently. And even if I render which takes forever , the moment I make a new cut messes everything up. What can I do , check or change in my settings so I can have peace in my life again?

  2. THE GHETTO WAY

  

  Well since I have to do something about this, I decided to put 3 video tracks and make them smaller so I can view the 3 of them and work. But the orange mechanic wants to ruin me so it appears when I make the size of my clip smaller. I think it’s normal because I’m changing their normal state but is there a way for me to work with the grey line without having to render. Rendering each sequence takes like 12 hours. Please help me I need to give the product on point I have until Friday . Thanks for your time!

  1. ?? – that ‘orange’ line is actually green.

  2. Your sequence settings don’t match your clips?

  3. Have you run a speed test (Blackmagic do a free one) on your media drive?

  the line is green , sorry im color blind.

  My sequence matches my clips , i just drag and drop the multicam clip to the sequence and the system asks me to match those two. For the blackmagic speed test it takes a OS X 10.6.6 or later i have os x 10.6.4 for now. But still i think my system is slow but before re-installing the OS system multicam did work fine.

  Someone told me to convert my files to apleProRes proxy and im gonna see if it works in a while. Do you agree for me to do it the other way making clips size smaller and running 3 tracks at the same time? Any other suggestions?
