Steve, what Ramil says is not entirely correct. On my system (see below) I am able to play Red files natively with real time playback. I do not have a Red Rocket card. By setting the Program Monitor to 1/2 resolution (which for Red is still 2000k) I have no problems. And I can even do a one light in the Source mode of the clip. Yes, memory, CUDA graphics card, and high speed disk arrays add to the Mercury Playback Engines abilities. But a Red Rocket card doesn’t necessarily need to be purchased.

So, how long did it take to export that 1 hour and 22 minute show to a master file?

My apologies, I didnt go back to review your first post. I must I am on a Mac and have no first hand experience with .mts files.

I suggest a little Google research in that direction. I know with certain formats I have to render dissolves, although that’s not the case most of the time.

Good luck!

Thats very normal behavior when it needs you to render the dissolve. Just ignore the render color lines.

Are you using a CUDA card? How fast is your raid array? How much memory do you have? How fast is your processor? These are the heart of the Mercury Engine that determines the performance of your system.

What format clips are involved in the dissolve?

Go into PrP Prefs/ Media and clean data cache.

Find your previews folder and delete previews.

Reboot PrP.

Any chance?

Nope 😀 I will probably upgrade to a PC in the near future and let those braver than I play with the Lion.
