playback delay
I posted about this a couple weeks ago in the Kona forum and in spite of spending many hours troubleshooting, I still have a 5-20 second delay when playing back the timeline in FCP. I’ve triple checked all my settings, double checked my hard drive speed, PCIe config and on and on. I can scrub the timeline at high speed and it looks great, but as soon as I hit the spacebar… nothing; then the pinwheel appears and eventually playback begins. BTW, this is FCP 5.1.4 on OSX 10.4.11. 2.66 Mac Pro, 8 gigs of RAM, Kona Lhe card. Kona driver 3.4. DVCPro HD 720p 23.98 timeline. Can’t think of anything else to say except “Help!”

Small project with about 10 min worth of footage. Yes, I’ve trashed the prefs a couple of times!

Yeah. I woulda ripped that card out by now. Or else I’d have ripped out all my hair. Disconnect all devices, copy the media to another internal drive and let ‘er rip.

I purchased a program called Spotless that allows you to disable Spotlight completely. For some reason Spotlight’s indexing wasn’t playing nice with FCP. Now that Spotlight is disabled, FCP is working perfectly. Go figure.
