Preview settings
I have a problem with the preview in Final Cut Pro. It lags.. Somebody who know how I can adjust the settings of the preview? Or if there is any other solution?

Preview as in your external monitor?
Final Cut Pro drop down menu –> System Settings –> Change frame offset value to ‘0’ (default is 4)Also, If you are playing through un-rendered elements on a timeline this can also cause the external monitor’s picture to lag behind what is playing in the canvas.

Thanks man!
Does this effect the final result i any way?

Thanks man, but it didn’t work.. I guess my macbook is too slow for 1080p footage then?

Depends on where you have the footage stored and the format of your HD Footage.
If you have the footage on the internal drive of your laptop.. then you’re gonna have trouble.
If your footage is on a FW400 or USB drive, you’re gonna have trouble.
If you footage is uncompressed you’re gonna have trouble.
If you have your footage on a FW800 drive, but the drive is almost full, you’re gonna have trouble.Colin McQuillan

What format is the footage, and where do you have it stored?
If you primarily work with HD footage on a macbook pro I would recommend to work in ProRes 422, get an express34 e-Sata card and a fast drive like the G-RAID (as long as you have a MBP with the express slot, if not then go with FW800 drives – the G-RAID has this connection as well)

That sounds like the right problem. I’ll try compressing the files and then see what happens! Thanks again!
