Hi John,
Sorry your right.
I’m on an Intel 2 x 3 Ghz Duel Core Intel Mac using OS 10.6.2
I’ve been shooting on Panasonic P2 using the DVCPRO HD codec at 720P 25fps
I’ve got a RAID system which has been serving me well for over a year, even with 4K files.
The strange thing is that even when I play (mp4) in Quicktime outside of FCP I still get the stuttering.
It seems that just having FCP on my system causes my Mac to be sluggish.
When I run the app ‘maintenance’ which resets preferences, etc. everything behaves correctly. Once I boot up FCP and quit immediately all the system is again sluggish.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Steve
