Re: "Stuttering" problem with HMC150 footage

So you haven't said whether you are doing your editing on the same drive as your OS. If you are, stuttering is often (not always) caused by competing with your OS for disk access. And moving it off to an external drive might not solve the problem if you move it to a USB drive. The recommended setup for high def on all platforms (as I've read it) is e-SATA or Firewire drives on a drive OTHER than the OS boot drive. If you are trying to do editing on the boot drive or on USB you will likely encounter stutter. Does that seem to point in the right direction? Or ?

An example of this is that Pro Tools for audio editing specifically states that they will not support anything other than what I stated above. Everything I've read about editing video also seems to state that you should follow the procedures I've outlined above. I have my OS on the primary internal drive, FCP on a RAID 1 array, and raw footage on another Firewire drive. No stuttering. Ever.

Any other ideas? Thoughts?
