    Posted by Christopher Targia on September 14, 2010 at 3:52 pm

    Recently when I have been opening FCP projects and it has been taking a few minutes as apposed to a few seconds to load like it used to. I have trashed preferences and fixed disk permissions, but I still have the same problem. Why would this be happening and how can I fix it?

    Im running Mac OSX 10.5 and FCP 7 if that makes a differnce

    MacPro Octo Core Intel Xenon 2.8Ghz 6GB DDR2 Ram
    FCP 7.0.2
    -I highly recomend el Gato Turbo264HD-

    And Jeremy’s question? What type of footage? Oh, and where is it stored?

    We need specifcs. 1080 HD and 720 HD aren’t specific. CODECS. DVCPRO HD, XDCAM, H.264…what? And 480i WHAT? DV, DV50? The graphics, are they animation files, what? You have to be VERY specific so that we know exactly what you are dealing with.

    I’ll say now, that if most of the codecs are non-editing codecs like H.264…that will be a BIG culprit.
