For me, it was multi cam. Specifically, the audio. Once I disabled the multi cam in the audio, it was back to instant playback. Very strange……

[Jeff Smith]

ok. well it sucks. i’ve disabled the multi cam and its back to original performance. i’ll just have to re-enable further down the road. thanks for info

[Jeff Smith]

good to know. ok here’s another question, why does it play fine, once it starts? and secondly, why doesn’t the clip start to play right away if I’m not clicking away from it. just stopping and starting. shouldn’t it be more instant since the drive isn’t searching?

The Drobo is 5 bay, 4tb each. To describe whats happening: the 2 angles play completely fine in the source monitor. it plays right away, no dropped frames, smooth all around playback. while in the program window, it takes the 2-3 sec to begin playing. so doesn’t the drobo seem fine if it plays great in source?

[Jeff Smith]

right. except they don’t make single drives big enough for what I need.

[Jeff Smith]

would adding the flash memory to the drobo help? i’m kind of stuck with it.

[Jeff Smith]

the drobo is the thunderbolt connected media drive

[Jeff Smith]

any other suggestions? I’ve tried the sequence in both cs6 and cc 2014. I’ve enabled the cuda acceleration in 2014, but no difference compared to cs6

[Jeff Smith]

any other suggestions? i’m not using warp speed but its very laggy to play. 2 or 3 seconds

It’s multi cam, 2 cameras
