Shiny New System, Steppy Playback?
by William Carr on Oct 31, 2009 at 7:05:24 pm

Happy Halloween.

My shiny new system is:
FCP 7.01 on a MacPro 2x 2.93 GHz Quad Intel Xeon
OS 10.6.1 Quicktime v10.0
16GB 1066 MHz DDR3
ATI Radeon HD 4870
Cinema HD 30" Display
650GB Internal
2x G-Raid 1.5TB via FW800
2x G-Raid 1TB via FW800

Project shot and edited on DVCPROHD 720 23.98, mostly cut on MBPRO until now, the final days of preparing the master timeline for the retail DVD.

Noticing steppy playback on the canvas at 100% size (on my 30" monitor). Even at 50% and 25% size.

Never saw steppy playback before with the same edit, clips and drive on the MBPRO screen at 50% and 25% size, or even an iMac which hosted the edit for a couple of weeks. The media drive is only 2/3 full.

Otherwise all is great with wonderful fast renders and happy operation.

Now with this grown-up machine and lots of slots I should be getting a Matrox or other card to watch playback on a separate display-- and I will in short order-- but anyway:
shouldn't my canvas play back smoothly, just for the basic reference it is?
