Get Adobe CC, or reinstall an older version of OS X.

Have you run AJA Speed Test or a similar test on your media drives? It sounds like you’re running into throughput limitations that have somehow been exacerbated by your software updates. You would not be the first user to encounter this issue when upgrading or updating software recently.
FYI, if you had a “real” professional RAID such as a 4 or 8-bay SAS conneced RAID with substantially greater thriughput, I seriously doubt you would have the same issues.

Ann, the thread here is not about backward compatibility of projects, it’s about updates that can all too easily screw-up a working edit station.
FYI, I am the #5 leading poster of all times here on the Cow, and for years I have been advocating that ALL users create a clone before unleashing any updates or upgrades to a working edit system. However, today upgrades and updates come at users much more often than ever before due to the new subscription model Adobe has adopted, and, as I said before, “users are only one all too easy click away from a potential disaster” that could render their edit stations dead in the water. At the very least, Adobe needs to add very conspicuous warnings to updates and upgrades warning users that they might encounter a whole host of issues if they click on the install button. Better yet, Adobe should coordinate with Apple and hardware manufacturers to insure that everyone is onboard with new drivers etc., BEFORE Adobe software encourages users to hit the install button for their upgrades and updates.

That’s an over simplification Ann. There’s more to this discussion, as we are no longer talking about major updates and upgrades as we have in the past, nowadays users are getting bombarded with a constant stream of upgrades (many of which are or seem mandatory) that are just one all to easy click away from creating a potential disaster, and there are no warnings to indicate a potential hazardous update vs. a simple non-hazadous update.

There, finally a calm, well-reasoned, balanced, and constructive criticism of the state of the Adobe’s art as it stands today. The one thing I might inject here in defense of Adobe’s development is that they are not playing in a static environment, Apple’s constant changes to OS X, and the constant rewrites of drivers that requires, are a moving target that keep every developer behind the eight ball continuosly. So, the problems are not by any stretch all the fault of Adobe.

I understand your frustration. You should definitely call mLogic.

Did you download the latest drivers from mTape? I believe there may be a special one compatible with BRU PE.
Have you called tech support at mTape or Tolis (BRU)?

Sorry, but there is absolutely no way anyone here, or elsewhere for that matter, can possibly answer your question. Without a calibrated monitor no one can know how your grade relates to accurate color or luminance. accuracy.

Seems that you’re as much to blame as Adobe. Wouldn’t it be fair to state that you lost half an hour of your time because you didn’t hit the save button to save your work?
