Michael – The timeline on one project is not to complicated. Its an offline edit and Im working in DV NTSC resolution with anywhere from 2 to 3 video tracks and up to 10 audio tracks.
The second project is in ProRess 422 HQ 720p 59.94 and there is hardly anything on the time line but a few cuts.
My RAID is connected via two MiniSAS Cable to SFF-8088. Im using the Highpoint 4322 RAID card and in Blackmagic disk speed tests I get about 790MB/s READ and 783MS/s Write
Jerry – I suspect you might be correct, my quick fix for this issue has been a system restart and everything would work fine after that for a couple of hour or the whole day sometimes.
One thing I find odd is If I use my Blackmagic Deklink card and send the video out to a client monitor it seems to help and play back looks smooth.
I’ll start backing up and will do a full re-install of the system to see of this solves the issue. How ever I do remember this happening when I first got my Mac back in 2008.
Thanks
