FCP 7 workflow slowdown
-
Well it sounds like something with the lock and load. I have always disliked any of those post production stabilizers. I am not sure how in depth your project is but try and do a quick re edit without lock and load. Is it absolutely necessary to have it, is your footage really shaky? Try the one for final cut stabilization, i forgot the name of it off hand.

Well, the film is done and looks great. L&L did a great job of stabilizing the scenes but I think somehow corrupted the sequence. Smoothcam in FCP 6 was terrific but does not work in FCP 7. That’s how I came to L&L.
I did the re-edit w/o L&L and it was fine, played beautifully.
As another test, I put it back into another copy of the sequence and this time, there was no problem. Weird. I’m flummoxed and going to write to Coremelt. -
Glad to see you fixed it. Like i said i always couldn’t stand those post productions stabilizers. If the shot was that bad, then just re shoot or dont use the shot.

I still don’t understand why it did what it did.

Probably just eating up too much of your system. That is the only thing i can think of. Usually whenever in the past when i have ever had problems like that, i just sort of start all over from scratch like how you did. That usually fixes it. But depending on how in depth the project is, that can be a nightmare sometimes.

Yes, it may be very processor intense. I don’t know.

what other apps are open?
Safari can chew up ram if left open for a long time.

When FCP says “Preparing video for display” it doesn’t actually means video. It means it needs time to redraw the timeline.
