    Hi – no I don’t mean for anything too detailed. It would just be for media training, so shooting on a Sony Z1 then be able to play back the footage to show the client their behaviour etc on screen.

    The drives are MacOs Extended, nothing else plugged in. What’s strange is that I have these formats before just fine.

    They are on the same drive, QT is 7.6.4, and MP4 files and other quite normal codecs. Could it be something to do with playback settings or the RT function?

    But the problem is that exact copies of these files work fine from my Mac’s HD but slow when used from the external drive, so I don’t see how the file formats is an issue. Just plugging the drives in seems to slow the whole laptop down.

    Ah ok, what’s the best way of doing that – re-exporting from fcp or QT?

    Actually the problem exists with other projects that are not H.264, am getting the ‘Dropped Frames Warning’ quite often too.

    Same problem with variety of Lacie drives, all connected with FW 800 and have ample space. They are partioned and not journaled, but nothing advanced (know very little about formatting).

    It’s editing H.264 footage.
