    MultiClip stuttering on Internal SATA Drive

    Posted by Dallas Kruse on October 23, 2014 at 10:20 pm

    I’m editing a 4 camera shoot.

    All the footage is ProRes 422.

    There’s 4 camera angles and I’ve made a multi clip via In Points.

    I can’t get any more playback other than about a second before it stutters and grinds to a halt.

    is there some setting I’m missing that would be able to allow me to edit smoothly?

    I’m using FCP 7.

    1920×1080.
    29.97 Timebase.

    You’ll need to playback off a hard drive RAID, i.e. two or more drives striped together. A single drive does not have the throughout necessary to playback four streams simultaneously.

    thats what I was afraid of.

    can you recommend a good RAID system/configuration for a hobbyist?
    Or will a good TBolt drive suffice?
