Is it like a weird digital hit?
Make sure you have 7.21 installed and the latest update to media encoder. That should solve it.
Although it might still happen in projects that were created in previous versions, it seemed random on my end.

Ahh, I remember that night…. You see that little V1 track select name on the left of the sequence? It needs to be clicked and highlighted 🙂

Here are the requirements for CS6:

It doesn’t really matter where the project file is a long as it gets incrementally backed up as often as possible 🙂
I keep my projects files with the media etc.
Scratch disk location only really matters if you render your sequences for previews. And even then, unless you are previewing uncompressed, your media drive is fine.

Hi Daniel,
You are describing key frames. Just as a refresher, in the compression world key frames are complete frames, every other frame only contains changed pixels from the previous frame.
Those changes become less and less accurate as you drop bit rate and /or increase resolution, and it prioritizes lighter areas since that’s where it will be most noticeable. Every time you hit a keyframe you will see a sort of jump when all the pixels are refreshed.
So, the easiest solution is simply to increase your bitrate.
You can also change the key frame frequency in your settings. If you increase the frequency, you may see less of a “jump”, but you will decrease the overall quality.

All I can tell you is that I had a bad experience with an i5 2012 iMac and dynamic link. In fact it was more of a nightmare.
Constant freezes, and crashes requires relinking, etc.
We now use 12 core MacPros and it’s just a breeze for most projects.
I agree with you on the connections, but there are workaround for that as well.
We use Caldigit towers with mini SAS, and getting these to work smoothly with an iMac or Macmini would be a fun project 🙂

The Macpro is much more flexible than an iMac, and it’s upgradable, including the GPU.
You’ll also have much more processing power, up to 16 core and Xeons instead of i7, depending on the year and what you want to spend.

I think you would be better off looking at eBay for previous generation MacPros over either of these options.
The only downside would probably be the lack on USB3.

Hi Tony,
After about 400′ even on the best Belden cable, it’s a gamble. Found this battery powered unit:

Of course, there’s always fiber 🙂

Hi Eric,
You should definitely use an external USB3/ESATA drive at the minimum for playback. That may be your issue. A full drive would make things worse.
If that doesn’t solve it, check your hardware settings for missing or incorrect drivers, finally, do a clean OS install.
Also, you may want to look to at least doubling the RAM, especially with CS6 or CC.
