RT Slow warning with little effects is this normal? New to final cut
-
Concerning the RT Slow Warning.
I put Two 1 TB Seagate 32mg cache 7200rpm drives internal and stripe/Raid them together. As posted I then downloaded the AJA drive tester and am geting about 200 +- Read and 200 +- write at 1GB file size 1920×1080 on this 2 Tb set up. Is that good?If this is good I may just have to high expectations for my MAC Pro to ba able to view Realtime multiple effects with out rendering.
What I was doing is 3 layers of video. Top track 25% opacity Second track 50% opacity and lower track no effect. Then on top of that I put a lower third with a solid back and feathered edges in the crop setting and CAN NOT view it EVEN if I go to settings and put the bit rate to Quarter.
My back graund is with Vegas Pro 8/9 and you can stack a ton tracks and effects and it may get a little choppy but you can view it to see if you like it.
Is it the case with MAC you have to render every thing to simply view it, to see if you like the look?
Just trying to learn my way around the MAC way -

Very good performance.
Did you change the sequence codec to Prores?
Did you set RT Unlimited?

Rafael, thank You for input.
do you mean to change Sequence even though my footage is not in pro res?
Or do you mean to convert the file after it comes in through XDCam transfer as a EX1 1920×1080 MOV?
Should I then use compressor to change that mov to Pro Res?
Don -
Don’t transcode.
Just conform your sequence to the XDCAM footage and change the codec to Prores.
The rendering will be faster and the quality better.
