Re: hanging on save

If you're talking about hitting save, watching the spinning beach ball for 30 seconds or more before the Saving progress bar comes up - I have exactly the same issue.

I saves fine, but I have to watch the beachball for up to a minute each time - really annoying when you habitually hit Cmd-S.

I see the same time at times in FCP as well, on seemingly menial tasks, like moving on the timelime and clicking on drop-down select options in dialogue boxes and stuff. Not consistently there however.

I've also had a few encounters with seemingly unmotivated beachball hang ups in Avid Media Composer.

The only commonality I can think of so far is my Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme card (Avid doesn't do it when the Mojo is attached, but when I'm editing with fullscreen playback out the Blackmagic it does it).
