Thank you Glenn or your help, I did not AMA link, I imported from the camera itself. It is a small Samsung HD camcorder H200 series.
The clip itself is not grayed out, it is the button on the bottom when I go to the transcode/consolidate window. I though Avid needed the format converted so it can read it/play it properly before i begin editing, I tried doing this one clip at at time and it does not give me the option.
As far as the system specs I was using FC Pro X and playback was not an issue. My computer is a 27 inch iMac bought January 2013, 3Tb memory, 3.4GHz Quad Core Intel Core i7, Graphics NVIDIAGeFrc GTX 675MX…
I do not have an external hard drive because I figured 3 Tbytes is enough for an 18 min short film. My only drive is my camera where the clips are saved…i did however use my hard disk to save my clips a week ago, then I had sound sync issues when i used the AMA link, which i don’t use anymore and it was resolved, Now my only problem is the image playback that seems to lag and look slow.
My project settings are as mentioned on the first post, nothing was changed anywhere else.
What should I do?
