Can my imac run AVID?
i have out about 10 clips into the timeline from a 5dmk2. There are no effects on any of the clips but i still have a red bar in the timecode which when i googled says my system isn’t good enough to run the program. Is there something in the settings i can change to get rid of the red bar?
heres my system spec, it isn’t the greatest but was the best i could do on a students budget

It may be before the red hits, it should be either blue or yellow. Blue indicates drive speed, yellow indicates processor being overworked. This will help decide which to beef up to make it playback in real-time.

Transcode the footage to DNxHD. Avid doesn’t edit H.264 well natively. Even if you had a beefy machine.
