I ordered the stock 6 core. I only use about 150 gigs on my internal and I will switch ram if needed but I wanted to have a stock until to start with and then upgrade what I need. I’m hoping the GPU’s will be enough but the price is where I wanted to be.

I’m going with the AJA T-Tap and the UltraStudio Mini Monitor, hopefully I can use both without conflicts. Then when we start with 4k I’ll take a look at the options. I’ll keep my AJA card in my current MacPro for capture. I’ve always loved AJA products but looking at moving to DaVinci Resolve for grading so….

AJA Lhe+ is working fine in a MacPro

Your Computer:
I got the biggest and baddest imac from late 2011 i7 3.4 with a t-bolt Raid

I don’t think it’s your computer, I’m cutting on a 2012 Mac 3.2 quad core with 32 gigs of ram and 4 internal drives at raid 0, so your system should be crushing mine.
I know you don’t want to hear this but personally I think it’s plural eyes causing you the problems.

David, you can say it doesn’t work for you but that’s not true for everyone! You are misleading James that Multicam doesn’t work. I have a 1 hour & 49 minute multicam clip that plays in the event browser and in a timeline. I used FCP X to sync the angles.

I have Multicams ranging from 22 minutes to 1 hour & 49 minutes. 5 cameras with lots of stops and starts. Cameras are 7D’s, JVC HD camera, Sony Handycam, mixed frame rates at 29.97 & 23.98 and it plays. No Proxy or transcoded media. I do have the playback quality set to better performance. The only thing I don’t have that you’re talking about is footage from the 5D or other audio sources.

I will check tomorrow.

Out of curiosity, are you able to get your 1hr 49min multiclips to play on the event side?

Ah, okay I misunderstood this statement.

X does not have the ability to sync long (1-2 hour) multi clips. It works swell for short segment or say 3 long clips that are close in length. 3 cameras of start stop dslr, multiple audio sources faggetaboudit. Actually as I’ve complained many times, it doesn’t handle long multicam stuff well at all. I just make it work. In fact any long multi clip wont even play on the event side, but thats another issue only Apple can fix.

So are you using plural eyes instead of FCPX built in sync?
