    Something Has Changed

    Posted by Christophe Bryant on July 1, 2012 at 9:09 pm

    Hello creative community,

    So I’m editing FCP 7 on a new imac with these specs:

    Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
    Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)

    I’m currently editing some canon footage which I’ve transcoded to Prores 422 HQ

    I’ve been editing this kind of footage for a about 2 months now without issue, until now.

    My render times have gone through the roof even when I set my render settings lower. I basically can’t play any footage labeled green on my timeline without it becoming choppy and eventually stopping. Multicam editing has ceased to play longer than a couple seconds even when i set my plaback to a quarter and reduce the quality.

    All my editing has been coming from a WD external with a firewire 800 and I haven’t had issues until the last week or so. I have no idea what’s changed or how to get things running smoothly again.

    Help me Creative Cow Forum, you’re my only hope 🙁
