Multiclip editing is choking during playback

[David Roth weiss]

Your throughput is pretty good, but probably not enough for six streams of 720p Pro Res.

Now, what your gonna probably need to do is drop one stream at a time from your multiclip to see how many streams you can handle at one time before choking.

I haven’t worked with ProRes, and I’m not in front of a work system, but…

-try going into User Prefs and setting “Limit Real Time Video” to 100mb/s

-Start changing the settings on the Sequence RT button. Try Unlimited RT, Dynamic, and Use Playback Settings.

See what the above helps.

Good luck

In my limited/short experience, ProRes is really really good at scaling for rt. Better and so completely different than anything FCP has ever done for us before. As long as your rt is set to dynamic in both frame rate and quality, you should be golden. I just tried an 8 clip multiclip with ProRes 720p24 and it’s playing back nicely in dynamic rt. My drive is running faster than 300MB sec, but that should be enough throughput for you, especially with dynamic rt.
