Slow HDV Scrubbing… wasn’t like this before…
Hi,
I am on this system:
Macbook Pro, 2.4 Ghz, 4 Gig Ram.
Os 10.5.3
Final Cut Pro 6.0.3I did some HDV Editing a while back, and the timeline was scrubbing quite nicely. Not too laggy at all. I was using Tiger back then.
Now, I’ve just imported some HDV footage 1080i50
and the timeline is really laggy, not nice at all. Is this something to do wtih an update, or the fact Im using leaopard now?To confirm, I asked a friend on the exact same Macbook Pro, and he says his HDV projects are not laggy at all.
Hmmm what the heck changed without me noticing?

Is the video in the same place?
I mean, did it use to be on one type of hard drive and now it’s on another type?

Hi,
well no, but I checked that out already. I.e. the video before I captured straight to my internal drive. this time, to an external firewire 800 Lacie drive.
But I just tried shifting the project folder from scratch on Lacie to my internal, then reconnect everything to that. But it made no difference……
This has me stumped.

Well, first off, stick with the external. That’s certainly the way to go.
Was the Lacie formatted as a OSX Extended drive? If all the footage is currently on the internal drive, try reformatting it (WILL erase everything) and then drag all the files back.
Also, put the OSX DVD in the computer, un-plug the Lacie and re-start holding the ‘C’ key. When the installation screen comes up, find the Disk Utilityi in the menu and run a disk repair and permissions repair on the boot drive.
Also make sure you’ve run the system update and that there aren’t any new downloads in there.

Yep, I tried all that. The lacie was recently zeroed, formatted as Mac os extended (not journaled).
I downloaded all updates too. And just a few minutes ago I repaired disk permissions.

Which Easy Setup did you use?

I used the HDV easy setup.

Make sure your drives aren’t too full. I know the Lacie’s really slow when full.
