  • FXP MultiClip Project won’t play in the Timeline

    Posted by Jennifer Corvino on April 7, 2015 at 8:59 pm

    Hello all,
    I’m hoping someone has an idea of what’s going on here! I’ve been working in FCPX all day!

    I have a multicam clip that I’m cutting up for a documentary. All of my projects work fine except for one. I can play the video out from the bin to preview it, but as soon as I put my curser in the project and try and move things around or play from the timeline I get the spinning beachball and I have to force quit!?! I”ve done a lot of work in this project so I’d hate to start from scratch.

    At first, I thought my multicam clip might be corrupt so I opened the Library and Project on another computer and it works fine! So it appears that it’s not the clip but a problem with the computer?

    So far I’ve tried:
    Deleting the Plist for FCPX
    Deleting all the render files
    Reinstalling FCPX

    Computer:
    Yosemite Mac Pro
    3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel
    9GB 1066 DDR3
    ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB

    FCPX: 10.1.4

    Has anyone else run into this?
    Thank you!!

    9 GB? I think you mean 8GB? That’s kind of an older spec’ed system may not be up to the task- depending greatly on the GPU and the hard drive. I’d suggest going into proxy mode to get better performance.
