    Several hours into an edit and the dreaded click-spin issue started. This is where every click of the mouse on the timeline results in a spinning beach ball. Every time!

    Trashed preferences. No improvement.

    I then replaced a .psd image with a .png about 1/16th the size and the click-spin went away.

    Hope this helps someone else.

    Maybe this is a hold over from FCP7, but back in the FCP 7 days I used to make all my stills into .png’s. This was trick I learned while doing a music project with lots of large archival stills, which once they were png’s did not gum up the FCP 7 works nearly as much as the original files I was given to work with. The graphic converter app was essential for batch inverting folders full of stills for use in FCP.
