[Craig Seeman] “If you look closely enough I swear I can see the Clip Connections ;-)”
Yes, so can I. And I don’t even know what they really are, but they’d sure look like one of my complex projects if I was on acid 🙂

An Irish poet…they seem to grow with the moss there. I met my first at the Winter games in Grenoble in ’68. He had been sent by Guinness as a goodwill ambassador to the local pubs. Now that was corporate benevolence at its finest.
@Aindreas – please continue to delight and entertain.

Here’s something you can do if there is one file unique to that sequence:
PrPro project files are nothing more than XML text files. You can search each project file in a text editor for the name of the unique file.
Warning: accidentaly don’t save the project file after searching it. I may put codes into it that make it unreadable.
If you are familiar with the concept of grep there are are apps in Windows and Mac for mass searching of text files if you have a lot of them.

Tom, beneath the picture in the program panel is a thin horizontal line. If you grab one end of it with your mouse you can drag it toward the center and increase the resolution of the scroll bar.
OTOH I ALWAYS scan in the timeline panel It normally has more resolution, except when the program panel is full screen.

The general consensus from Adobe people is that both platforms perform about the same. It’s usually driver issues from third parties like AJA, BM, and Matrox can can slow things down.
Peter, one thing you may want to try for the choppy playback has cropped up in the AJA forum. In preferences they found if they changed the audio hardware from AJA to Adobe the choppiness disappeared.

[Robert Brown] “Thanks but I know about render work area and what I’m seeing is still the same. There seem to be conditions were PPro thinks it doesn’t need to render and so doesn’t even if you tell it to. I go into
sequence, hit render work area and it does nothing as there is a yellow bar and it cannot play the
comp in real time. Yes people can jump to conclusions but it can go both ways.”I’ve never encountered that. A yellow bar has always rendered for me when I hit Ctl-Enter. What effects have you applied that are not playing in real time? What’s your h/w configuration?

[Walter Soyka] “Chris, I’m following you into the woods again. Color management is a good thing, but it cannot replace traditional monitoring in all workflows (see my comments below).
But this is all off-topic. The question is, why is there a sense of urgency around the transition?”
Walter, just a note of appreciation for the well reasoned sanity you bring to this discussion.
And for those who like the woods so dearly a paraphrase of a verse of Mr. Frost’s comes to mind:
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I a date with the present to keep,
And miles to go before I weep.David

4GB is most likely a problem. Most uses require a minimum of 8.

You don’t say which version.
5.5 is rock solid on most hardware. It takes a lot to crash it. Most crashes happen because of video card drivers. After that it may be other harware driver issues. In a rare case it could be a plugin. But it’s very unusual when it’s the PrPro software.

[Robert Brown] “Also I think there needs to be a force render,”
There is. In the sequence menu. Render Work Area. Mine’s set to Ctl Enter but it’s a definable keystoke.
I’ve observed that a lot of you FCP-ers are making premature assumptions about what PrPro can and can’t do…without fully familiarizing yourself with the software. Like any other NLE it’s a deep program that takes time to learn. I still discover new things after 6 years. So hold back on the conclusion leaping and ask, don’t assume.
