Experiencing lag when editing, backup in background

I've noticed FCPX lagging when I make cuts or move any clips around on the timeline. For instance I'll make a blade cut and be waiting 2-5 seconds for it to show up. I might drag the clip somewhere else on the timeline and find that I have to wait for the UI to catch up on drag. Since this is EXACTLY what I should be able to do quickly with this kind of software it's very frustrating.
I notice this on all my projects and even on new timelines I create.
I noticed the 'Backup' progress bar keeps appearing in the Background Tasks window. I've not seen it start and stop like this before. It looks like a glitch of some kind.
Any thoughts on how to solve this lag? Is it the backup task? Can I disable this feature?
I'm working on FCP 10.1.4 in OSX 10.10.1 on a Mac Pro (late 2013). <----THIS SETUP SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM TO WORK ON AS IT"S AN 'EPIC' 'PRO' MODEL.
Storage is on a Pegasus2 R4 thunderbolt raid HD bought through the apple store.

wwhere are the backup files? Try repairing permissions and trashing preferences. If it continues to constantly backup switch off back ups and see how it works then. Also try creating a new user and seeing how the application behaves there.

  • After updating Minecraft to 0.9.0, I'm already experiencing lag when its generating my world.

    Info
    - Ipod 4g with 16GB
    - Currently have iOS 6.1.6 installed
    - Been having it ever since last April of 2012
    - Capacity: 13.7 GB
    - I have 9.9 GB available
    Problem
    - After updating Minecraft to 0.9.0, I'm already experiencing some lag when I click "Create World!" It takes 30 seconds to a minute to generate the world. Once it generates it, the main menu pops up and I got to start all over again.
    - Minecraft would crash on me almost all the time when I generate my world.
    Troubleshoot
    - I've already double-clicked the home button to delete all the apps I've opened up
    - Turned off power for awhile then turn it back on
    - I rebooted so many times also
    Assumption
    - I think its just my iPod doing the lagging since its only 4g

    Well the iPod touch 4th gen is really getting old with its Single Core A4 chip and only 256 MB. You notice this when you run a game, especially the newest version with a lot of features.
    Lower your graphic settings in Minecraft, best is to set it down to the minimum. Do regular reboots and close your open apps.
    You can only try to restore your iPod. (But make a backup first.)

  • Has anyone experienced lagging when typing on the mac since the mountain lion os x update?

    hey everyone,
    i'm a newbie to this kind of stuff but just curious if anyone has experienced any kind of lag when typing since the mountain lion update. I find then whenever i'm typing it doesn't show up and as soon as i start deleting my sentence it will appear again.
    also, when scrolling over a highlighted word, your typical menu box will drop down. As soon as it drops down it leaves a big white blank where it was and cuts out everything that was in its path.
    please let me know if this is something that can be fixed or if apple's working on something to amend the issue. thanks everyone!

  • IMovie lags when editing video and audio

    I just bought iMovie yesterday from the Mac App Store. I recorded a DJ set and wanted to edit my Video with better quality audio that i recorded seperately. I find that when editing my video and audio (Matching up audio), there is alot of lag. Especially when scrolling through the video to drag the audio to a certain point to get the audio in sync. This is very frustrating and i feel i just got cheated paying for iMovie 11 when it cant even do a simple job. Please help me resolve this. Thank you!

    Hi
    This is not easy in iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 -
    What and how did You record the extra audio ? With what tool ?
    To be able to keep audio in sync should be recorded with a device with TimeCode. Else it will be near to impossibly. Or extremely tedious even if FinalCut is used.
    I would use FinalCut and keep original audio on track 1 and 2 - and the extra on track 3 and 4. Then Show Wave-form - then see if they can match up to each others.
    But doing this in iMovie - is nearly impossibly.
    IF AUDIO HAS - TimeCode - and there are no drop outs on video or audio then You should be able to exchange original audio with the extra recorded one in iMovie and even move it frame by frame (1/30 sec or 1/25 sec) - in FinalCut audio can be moved much more exact eg 1/100 sec or within a frame
    (my miniDisc recorder - is FAR away from exact enough for this)

  • Experiencing lags when using AirTunes

    Hey all
    I have a Lenovo Notebook and a Fujtsu computer, both running with Windows XP. I am running a WiFi-network with a TP-Link Router connected to a Motorola Modem (some crap my ISP gave me). There is an AirPort Express connected to this WiFi in my living room (approx. 12meters away from my router), to which my TV is plugged with an audio cable.
    So, with this installation I am streaming music from my notebook (connected via WiFi) to the AirPort with iTunes (AirTunes). From time to time, I am experiencing lags or delays: for 1 or 2 minutes, the music interrupts every 5 or 10 seconds and stops for a couple of seconds. This is extremely annoying.
    I have found an archived topic (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9587938) in which it was told that it's an issue appearing only since iTunes 8 and that a future update might help. Well, today theres iTunes 9 running on my PCs and the problem seems to exist, still.
    Does anybody have a solution for that or is it still caused by the software?
    I have been thinking of monitoring the network usage - maybe there is some sort of peak or overload during the lags.
    And yes, as soon as I have finished my studies I will get me an Apple computer and an AirPort extreme. But I need to have a salary for that
    best regards from Switzerland
    Ivo

    I was just listening to music with my airtunes speaker and after approx 15 minutes it started to have those interruptions again. So I decided to look for a monitoring solution (after a tool offered by microsoft didn't satisfy my needs). I now found Network Activity Diagram - which is great. I can now monitor the traffic to the AirPort graphically. I will do that the next time I'll be listening to music and tell you about my observations.

  • IMovie lags when editing video

    I dunno what to do, I need to get the video done by today so pleeeeeease help me!

  • Cp8 freezes when editing a Library background in Photoshop

    Hi.
    My issue is relating to the "round tripping" functionality between Cp8 and Photoshop. I use Cp8 on Windows 7 and Photoshop CS6.
    Cp8 freezes up whenever I try to edit a background in Photoshop. It eventually responds but usually takes about a minute.
    Then, when I make the edits in Photoshop, merge the layers and Save...it doesn't always "round trip" to Cp8...meaning the orig background is still there on the Cp8 stage.
    Very weird since sometimes it works like a charm and others, not so much and also....I never had this issue when I was using Cp6.
    Any ideas or advice would be great but I'd also like to know if this is happening to others...
    Thanks!
    K

    CS6 is pretty old, compared with CP8. I'm not sure, because I use PS CC(2014) myself that this could be one of the causes of your issues? CP6 was released around the same time as CS6, but meanwhile lot happened in the CC-world. Anyway roundtripping Audition-CP will not be functional with an old version of Audition.
    When you finished editing and saving in PS, do you see the red checkmark in Captivate, and did you try to update from there?

  • Yes!  Finally fixed lag with editing tiff files

    Thank you LR team.  I had been having issues with significant lag when editing tiff files in LR 3 that seems to be gone in LR 4.
    Specifically, I would edit my CR2 file and export to CS5 for cloning, filters and then save to get the tiff back into LR.
    When I did simple things like sharpening, I would get the loading popup for a second but then had it show again when I zoomed in and with a significant stutter/lag.
    Even worse was any cropping.  I would start to drag one side, have the image almost freeze up - show a zoomed in section that was incorrect for the crop.  I would let go and LR3 would catch up a second later.  That would happen repeatedly and drove me crazy.
    Happy to say those behaviors do not exist in my first photo edited in LR4.
    You have me very tempted to start using it for my real stuff instead of just beta testing with duplicates.

    (Aperture 3 and PSE 10; Lion; using Referenced files in Aperture)
    I tried Barbara's recommended method and PSE now opens with the image displayed and accepts edits.  However, when I save the adjusted image, what I get in Aperture is a TIFF file of that name but with no edits displayed.
    When I go to the directory in which the referenced files are located, the adjusted file exists and I can view it.
    So, (at least as I have things configured), when accessing PSE from Aperture I am able to make adjustments and save the adjusted file, but the adjusted file does not display in Aperture.
    Is anyone having success with Barbara's method using referenced files? 
    I hope it is not necessary to do a separate import to get the adjusted file to display in Aperture - which would make PSE totally impractical for use.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Mov files from Iphone lagging when attempting to edit in imovie.

    Recently I imported a couple videos (mov files) from my iphone to edit them in imovie.. but for some reason they keep lagging. when I drag the mouse across the clip the playhead line doesnt even keep up... All videos I shot in the past have been edited just fine without lagging and they still don't when I checked them in my events.. So I have reason to believe its the file but they're all Mov files. If anyone has insight on these I will appreciate the help...Thank You.

    Hi Tyler!
    Of the options you list I would choose 'Raw DV'. iMovie is designed to handle a DV stream @ 13GB per hour, for editing and transfer to iDVD.
    But ask the vendor to confirm that his 'Raw DV' is designed for transfer to iMovie 6 on an Apple Mac, and before he loads up the hard drive you are supplying make sure that it has been formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

    It's not an Apple issue and Apple has nothing to do with it.
    The only way to buy an iPhone officially refurbished by Apple is to buy it from an Apple store or via Apple's website.
    Refurbished iPhones sold via other retailers are not refurbished by Apple.
    Sounds like Wireless Wave did all they could... they refunded your money.
    Your only issue is with them.  Stop getting all worked up over it.

  • Corporate Win7/Office 2010 | Severe Lag when opening Office 2010 files over the network

    Good Evening Everyone,
    I work in a corporate environment for one of the top banks in the country (USA). We recently upgraded our computers to Windows 7. (The image has office 2010 included in the build)
    I've been experiencing some severe lag when opening Office files over the network. Let me start by saying I've researched a lot and have yet to find a solution that works or even makes much of an improvement. 
    Notes: My laptop is new (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise). The remote desktop where the files lie is new as well. (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise) Both computers have good hardware and more than enough juice to handle applications. 
    There are certain files I work on along with other co-workers that we store on a computer within the office. We simply create shortcuts to the files on our local machines and make changes, etc. from there. However, after this upgrade, every time I try to
    open a file on the remote computer, it takes over a 1 minute to load. I've spoken to our support team who sent someone out and confirmed it's not the network. 
    Both computers are on the same subnet as well. I've changed the trust center settings on both the client computers and "server" to trust any computer on the network. I have also changed the network card's speed from "Auto Negotiate" to
    full duplex 100mbps with no luck.
    I am out of options here and in desperate need for a fix. Even saving changes to a file we work on takes forever. 50% of the time when I close a spreadsheet, the title bar has a not responding message and takes a minute to eventually close. 
    PS: Extra Info : All computers run McAfee AV and use McAfee for disk encryption. I've confirmed all computers are up-to-date in every respect with the AV software. 
    Thanks,

    Try: 
    Open My Computer.
    Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
    Select the File Types tab.
    Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
    In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open. 
    In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

  • Music lag when unlocking iOS7

    Hi community,
    I found this was a really small issue that Apple can easily arrange and wish to know if I am the only one experiencing this.
    First this never happened to me before with any apple products. The problem is on the iPhone 5s :
    I just start a song, lock the phone. Then when I unlock it with my finger while it still plays there is a slight lag in the song.
    It does the exact same effect when unlocking with a password too instead of the fingertip.
    Don't hesitate to post your experience on this here.

    Hello d4vdion,
    It sounds like you are getting a bit of lag when unlocking your phone either with your fingerprint, or with a passcode. I wanted to recommend a few things here for you to try. First close all the running apps on the phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it from your backup:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Infopath form for sharepoint 2013 lags when searching for person or group.

    Dear all,
    After implementing a infopath form on sharepoint, the search for person or group column lags when I search for someone the second time. (The first time won't lag). Is there a fix to this? And is there a way to modify the search for person or group function
    to sharepoint OOTB person or group search? I think the OOTB one is a lot better. Thanks all.
