    QT 10.0
    FCP 7.0.3
    Unlimited RT turned on.
    16 tracks audio
    3 layers of video

    Working with 5 to 10 minute projects. Timeline plays smoothly for a while, then after cutting and pasting from other timelines, or mixing formats and rendering, timeline starts dropping frames, and eventually sound disappears. If I restart FCP, stalling goes away and things play smoothly for a while.
    Then it starts all over again. Have trashed preferences to no avail.
    Can anyone tell me why my system is not playing smoothly. Thinking with the given horsepower I should be having zero playback issues.
