    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?
