FCP Spinning Wheel
Hi All:
I have the latest MacBook Pro 8 Gigs of Ram, Snow Leopard and FCP 7.
My machine slows down big time when I use FCP any right click takes 10 seconds and I can’t even select a color label for example. I started noticing this when I upgraded to CS4 even if these apps are not running.
has anybody experienced similar issues.
Thanks
Alex N.

Hi David:
Thanks for the tip. I tried it but I had no luck, now CS4 is not even starting up, I will have to do an erase an install, I have tried a lot of things, it’s strange how slow this machine is, much slower than my 3 year old laptop, and this one is much more powerful.
Thanks again,

Hi, did you ever solve this problem? I’m wondering if it’s possible for a sequence to get corrupted, or just accumulate too many filters that is can’t process them all.
I have two sequences open in the Timeline. One is a copy of the other. The second copy has the added filter to deinterlace all the video, while keeping the text overlays interlaced. I also cleaned up two edits by clipping out 3-4 frames. This second sequence gets the spinning wheel of death for any click on anything. The original sequence runs just fine. Somehow, Final Cut does not seem to like the filters on this sequence, I am guessing. I did the same think for a trailer that is half the length, and I don’t get the spinning wheel problem there. -
After trying everything under the sun for two weeks straight, one simple solution worked for me: TURN OFF TIME MACHINE. Hope this helps.
