Final Cut ‘laggy’ after being idle. Is this normal??
Just getting into my Final Cut suite after 14 years of Avid. All going well but every time I leave it idle for a while and make a phone call/do email or such, Final Cut gives me the spinning beach-ball for 7 or 8 seconds before catching up with me.
Not the end of the world I know but a little irritating.
Is this normal??
Dual 2.8 Ghz 4 Mb RAM, media running from internal 1Tb HD with separate 300 Gb boot drive. Only about 3-4 hours of media at ProRes at any given time and short-form timelines of only 3-4 minutes usually.
Thanks in advance -

Rod,
Sounds like your Power Saver features in the System Preferences are not turned off. You need to set everything on “never.” And no sleeping on hard drives too.
