Playback speed is unstable with MC Color
Hi
i have the MC color and the davinci 8.1 mac.if i play back the r3d in 1/4 few mins the play back speed will unstable which is like FF.
But the playback speed is stability when I reopen the davinci without MC color.
I try to reinstall all the soft and drivers,but the problem is stay.
And I notice that the CPU is up to 60%-90% from 50% when the unstable is happen.
But the speed is stability and the CPU is up to 85% when I play back the same r3d 1/4 with a lot nodes with out MC color .
Which is the problem ?
Sorry for my poor English.
thanks

I use MC Color and I do not have this problem.

Possibly the Mac needs to use more CPU resources to use the MC Color interface, and that your CPU isn’t powerful enough to do 1/4 Res Red debayer and run the MC Color. Try 1/8th Res and see… Also a Red Rocket card would take a lot of the load off the CPU.
I notice this occasionally when using RED footage, using the CPU to debayer, and drawing a lot of curve shapes in windows… I lose realtime playback not from too much GPU but too much CPU resources…
