    I am trying to play 4 clips as a multiclip in the viewer. It will not play. I am getting a lot of beach ball action. I did reduce my RT Playback Video Quality & Playback Frame Rate Settings. It’s still not working. I’m getting 4 black blocks in the viewer. What am I doing wrong? Any Ideas?

    What kind of drive is the media being played from?

    What quality is the media? (DV, 8 Bit Uncompressed, HD).

    I’m not 100% sure from the information you gave but, chances are the drive is not fast enough to play four streams of media at the same time.
