Is there any hope for premiere on new mac pro?

Following up, it seems that my issue is with multiclip footage, (or possibly specifically) 1080@24 h.264 5D mk III footage in a multiclip sequence.

My applescript ran all weekend just fine, so I had to switch it up. I made a new applescript that would:

select clip under playhead
copy clip
cut under playhead
jump ahead random frames
paste clip
jump ahead random frames

loop

This ran flawlessly on one track of video (5D footage above) and on 3 tracks of video, but when I multiclipped it and ran the script on the multiclip sequence it started beachballing pretty quickly. If I have time I’ll test this same feature on a prores multiclip, because some people seem to be having better luck with different codecs.

At least I have an idea of what to avoid now, but it’s pretty sad that this is such a glaring bug in one of their important features.
