Okay interesting thing happened.

I started editing using the Standard Layout instead of my own layout and also (I think this is the big thing) I am using only one monitor when I am editing with Motion. Everything seems to be working like it should now. I have edited 2 projects this way and it has not done the floating beach ball on me at all.

Could it be something to do with the video card having a hard time sending stuff to two separate monitors? I don’t have this problem when I am editing with FCP.

Thanks for the suggestions folks.

Here are pictures of what I’m seeing inside Motion lately:

I have recently started seeing mysterious blue lines across one of my monitors, but it is infrequent. I will keep an eye on this too. Thanks for the information.

The NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT card is in this machine. The whole set up is 2 to 3 years old. Here are the specs for the nvidia…it might mean something to somebody:

Yes. I usually have FCP open and sometimes even Safari (listening to Pandora). I will try shutting everything else down all the time and see how that works.

How do a person (average guy) go about figuring if they have a bad graphics card?

Thanks again for the input everyone.

I appreciate the input. I feel that my problem is getting narrowed down.

Before my post, I had gotten into a habit of clearing the RAM preview and things would work for a little while and also restarting the program and then restarting the machine. I have set resolution to 50 % and Half also.

It became such a stumbling block to have to stop so frequently that I figured it must be something I was doing wrong or some set up on my particular machine that was funky.

I did the re-install and it worked about as long as just restarting the machine does. I’m just curious how everyone else gets their machines to fly while I am stuttering along and what I need to change.

I reinstalled according to how the Mac site recommended. It does not seem to have helped.

In fact, the lag actually seems worse. Now the weird thing is in the past it will bog like this for a while and then things pick up long enough for me to get my hopes up that everything is fine…then it’s back to editing in mud with gloves on.

Should I be looking at something else?

Although we still need to see if deleting the plist file helps the other Matt in the original post….your suggestion certainly helped me with my problem with Motion acting a little weird. Hopefully this will stick.

COW is good.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you.

I knew it had to be something easy, I just couldn’t for the life of me actually see what it was. Sometimes (more than I want) it seems I am wearing blinders that won’t allow me to see the obvious.

Thanks for not laughing (out loud) at me and thanks for your help.
