    So. Anyone else finding the trim tool unusably stuttery when running P2 as AMA?

    I am running an 8 core mac pro (pre nehalem – Xeon , 3Ghz) 4 Gb or Ram and an NVIDIA Ge Force. Drives are hooked up via esata to plenty of bandwidth there i think.

    Anyone have any better performance with more recent Mac Pro processors or a different GPU?

    Nope. No issues. And the rig I am on have the media on USB drives.

    So accessed via AMA but not consolidated? Working in the originals?

    Copying entire card contents to an esata drive into folders named A1, A2 matching the cards. These are within a folder named after the shooting date.

    Are you on the same generation Mac Pro?

    That exact model I believe. Early 2008 3.0Ghz model…Harpertown? 8GB RAM.

    But I only use AMA to access the footage, we always consolidate into the Avid file structure. Avid seems to like things better that way. Takes just as long as copying manually.

    I see. Going to try this workflow on our system and see if it works out. For now just trancoding everything to offline res, which s saving us precious unity space to.
