Performance Tweaking
Hi All.
I have an issue with Final Cut Pro since upgrading to Leopard, in terms of performance, it is taking a major hit. I used to be able to edit freely in multicam mode with two or more cameras at once whilst outputting a file in compressor. (self contained movie)
Now when I am busy compressing something and I try to edit, it is like molassas, in fact the entire machine feels slow. I am wondering whether I should go back to Tiger, there is nothing all that compelling with leopard other than quick look. Has anyone had slow down issues since upgrading to Leopard? Even the dock feels slow.
Does anyone know of any tweaks for the system to speed it up, other than defragmentation.
I have the latest copy of Tech Tool Pro, so I plan to defrag the capture drive and the system drive tonight.G5 Dual 2.3GHZ

Have you properly updated everything on your system including any and all third party applications and hardware?

2.5 GB Ram is a little weak.
I would go for 4-6 GB.
I assume you’ve done a clean System install.Rainer Wirth
