[Sascha Engel] “Also: When I create a new user account and playback material from exactly those RAIDs, all works fine, without any hick ups.
So, they can’t be the source of evil.”You may have answered your own question right there. See Ronnie Courtens response in this recent thread on fcp.co

Put the cache on the SSD. You probably have too much media to put it on the SSD so you’re stuck putting it on the hard drive.
What kind of read/write speeds do you get on each drive?

A fully loaded 5k iMac costs about the same as a low end Mac Pro. Many people are using them and seeing good performance. Also, the Mac Pro is getting a little long in the tooth. I’d either go with the iMac or wait until the next gen of Mac Pro.

I use a Promise R4 8 TB. It’s OK but not as fast as I wish. As far as the 12TB version, my concern would be the fact that it is populated with 3 TB hard drives. See this article for more info on the reliability of 3 TB drives:

[Vesko Urukov] ”
I don’t understand why the viewer would determine the export options??? Until i switched to better quality, I was not able to exports as non-proxy source…
“It doesn’t really. But there is the choice for original/optimized or proxy there. I think it’s a weird place for it. I never have to use proxy anyway so I’ve never had to deal with it.

Is the viewer in FCP X set to Better Quality or Better Performance? You say your exports are low quality. What format are you exporting too? I see the difference. Where is the screen grab coming from?

How are you determining the quality of the video? What are you viewing it on? From what you have said so far there should be no problem. Some screenshots might be helpful.

Pro Res is native to FCP X. What comes out should not look any different than what goes in. What are your project settings?
-
The issue is not with FCP X. More info is needed before anyone can help you. What format is going in, what are your project settings, what format are you exporting to? You don’t have to use proxy or optimized footage. Those are preference settings.
