[Steve Keller] “Every file. Even weirder (at least I’ve never seen this until now), it’s writing the conformed files to the directories where the source files exist.”
That’s a setting you can change in preferences.
What kind of files are you importing?
[Steve Keller] “I may try re-installing CS5.5 just to see what happens.”
I doubt if that will help.

Wish I could help. Is every single file reconformed when you open the project or just some? The cache directory will tell you which files have -1, -2, appended to their names depending on how many times they’ve been conformed.

My experience is that the cache files sometimes become corrupted. My solution is to go to the cache directory and delete all the cache files, pek, cfa, and ims for the project and let PrPro rebuild them from scratch.

[Craig Seeman] ” I find there’s no complex procedures for it to behave as I need it in any given circumstances.”
You’ve just described what appears to be a much greater number of procedures than what I do to accomplish this task. I’ve never inferred that it can’t be done in X, only that’s there would diminishing efficiency compared to the tracked timeline as the complexity of the layers grows.
But thanks for the input.

[Walter Soyka] “With clip connections on an absolute timeline, you wouldn’t have to manually select the correct clips before editing. The NLE could select them for you, based on the clip connections you had already defined. You’re front-loading the thinking about which clips go together in a move.”
But FCP-X is not an absolute timeline so you’re citing a possibility that doesn’t exist. My contention is that in a relative timeline the example is possible but clumsy and may lead to clips getting shifted around in unintented ways.
Why isn’t Craig jumping in here to point out the errors in my conjectures? Is it still unclear?

Does it also happen when you drag the timeline playhead when you’re zoomed in?
Your slider resolution in the program panel may be too low.

I just want to be clear on whether this happens with jogging the playhead or playing the timeline. I’ve assumed that it’s only with jogging. If that’s the case, does it also happen when you drag the timeline playhead?

[Tom Daigon] “No effects on the timeline , just clips. I guess my workflow might necessitate checking out Avid since not using the Kona is not an option. Thanks for the info David.”
Like I said in the other post the issue is probably not the Kona drivers if it behaves the same way in Adobe timelines.
One thing to try: In Preference:Viewers switch from the AJA viewer to the Adobe viewer.
Otherwise it’s almost certainly an issue with Prores in PrPro or QT issues. Todd may be able to tell you definitively about this.

That is correct. And iff the Adobe timeline demonstrates the same jerkiness, then the Kona drivers are not to blame.

Jason’s question is relevant in that if you have any effects applied to the timeline clips jogging or scanning the timeline is going to be jerky. If you have a CUDA card with CUDA effects applied it’s going to be much smoother.
