FCPX Performance Issues on Mac Pro

I've been having some trouble running FCPX on my Mac Pro.
Specs:
MacPro1,1
Quad-Core 2.66Ghz
10 Gb Memory
ATI Radeon HD 5770 & Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT
120 Gb 6Gb/s SSD for Lion & FCPX w/ a few other HDD's for media storage
I know I have an older Mac Pro but still I'd think that with an SSD, a new graphics card, and a quad core FCPX would be able to run sufficiently. The whole program just runs slow in general. Anyone have some tips on how to make it run faster? I really don't want to take FCPX out of my work-flow but if I have to I'll just have to resort to Adobe Premiere.

I'd look at what HDDs you use. I might also remove the 7300 card. I don't know what interaction it may be having but I'd look to simplify the hardware to see what might be going on. I have a MP 1.1 with the 5770 card and FCPX works just fine (although now that I have used it a bit I know I don't really like it). I don't know what the SSD does since I don't have that but if you're internal drives are fast 7200 rpm drives then I'd check the vid card interaction.

After effects performance issues on mac pro 12-core

Hello everyone,
I feel as if i keep making similar posts to this, but for some reason i am still not satisfied with my machine. Im using a mac pro 12-core 2.4GHz with 40gigs of ram installed and a ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card.
I finally got around to getting my SSD set up and i have all of my applications installed on it along with the OS. i also have all of my cache files set to my WD hard drive so I'm not clogging up my 120GB SSD. My SSD has 40gigs left so i figure i shouldn't go any lower than that to keep the performance of the drive at its fullest potential.
I do a lot of work in after effects CS6 and i feel that the machine is still going slow.. I was working on a project last night and when i went to do a RAM preview i kept getting the beach ball and after effects would glitch up.. what would be the main cause of this? could it have been that the destination file i was working with was on my WD drive and not the SSD?
I don't know what it is i need to keep adding to this machine to finally be satisfied with its performance.. My next investment would most likely be a GTX 570 to enable CUDA cores for open GL rendering, but i still feel that i should still be getting great performance now.
Any suggestions? maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Rick is talking about After Effects Multiprocessing. You can turn it off and on here:
Also, you've only reserved 3 GB out of 40 GB for other applications. Other apps on your computer also need memory to work and setting this number so low could cause these apps to fight with After Effects over the available memory causing AE to slow down. I would suggest starting with that number a lot higher, possibly around 10 GB. Then do a bunch of render tests to see what the best settings are for your machine.
I also highly recommend watching the "Using 'Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously' Multiprocessing" tutorial by Adobe employee Todd Kopriva on Video2Brain for more information. If you really want to learn more about getting the best performance in AE, I would go through the rest of the After Effects & Premiere Pro Performance Workshop. You'll learn a lot.

Performance issues with Logic Pro 9

Hi,
I'm experiencing quite big performance issues with Logic Pro 9:
bad midi timing and sync, user interface is kinda slowing and less reactive, ...
Mac Pro 2x2.26 Ghz Quad, 4Gb ram, early 2009, shipped with 10.5.6 now upgraded to 10.5.8
Should I upgrade to 10.6.2?
Thanx

Hi,
I'm using the same machine ...
I never get any performance issues
I bought my mac in March 2009 and I was ben ready to work in less that 3 days without issue...
so more details about your setup are required to answare!
4GB ram???
I suggest to check your ram!!!
Ram must be compatible with Xeon Nehalem Try specification!
if you add 1GB of ram from nor clear manufactor.. i suggest to disconnect the addition 1GB RAM

Slow User Interface Performance on a Mac Pro

I've recently purchased a late 2013 6-core Mac Pro with 16gb of memory and the 256gb SSD. While the general performance of Final Cut Pro X is outstanding (applying filters, transitions, analyzing for dominant motion, optical flow retiming, rendering, etc.), the user interface seems to still start to slow down the further along I am in my project. It is most noticeable when I click a clip in my timeline to modify a video property in the inspector, then hit play (spacebar) again to resume editing. At the start of a project, I can fly through my clips and edit without any hesitation, but as I near the 90 second-ish mark (with an edit/clip every 5-10 seconds), the responsiveness of the user interface starts to waiver just like my previous early 2011 Macbook Pro (something I thought was related to the graphics and/or system performance of computers from that era).
I've tried creating proxy and optimized media projects and even edited my h.264 footage in native, compressed format - regardless of what I try, the performance of the user interface is nearly identical until I start to hit a few minutes with some colour corrections on 25% of the clips. I've also experimented with the playback quality during editing (i.e., best performance vs. quality) which resulted in minimal performance improvements.
Clearly, this Mac Pro has been designed to tear through video footage and process mass amounts of data, but I wonder if there is something else looming in the code of Final Cut Pro X that, regardless of the computer in use, the user interface just gets sluggish at a certain point when a critical mass of edits/clips are in a project.
Any comments or feedback would be greatly welcomed, as I may decide to return this beast and settle on an iMac if this symptom exists regardless of what Mac I use.
Sincerely,
Ryan Smith

1. All of my media was located on the SSD installed inside the Mac Pro and is the startup disk of the computer
This will slow you down. Get a secondary drive for the media and Libraries.
2. The SSD had between 50g and 150g (depending on the project) available
That drive is becoming too full, and slowing down.
3. The project consisted of a single event from one import, about 100 files totalling 40g
A good USB 3 or Thunderbolt external RAID will fly through that without issue. The system drive will get bogged down.
4. I haven't paid close enough attention to Activity Monitor; I will start doing that, but FCPX is the only application I ever have open when editing and consumes about 12gb - 16gb.
16GB RAM should be plenty for FCPX. I've never seen it eat up that much RAM, even on very large projects. But more RAM won't hurt if the system is using that much RAM. How are you getting those RAM usage numbers?
The issue seems to be your drive. First, don't use the system drive, that will bog things down, no matter what type of drive it is. Second, get your media and Libraries on a fast secondary (external) drive.
Finally, are you running with the dual D500 or D700 GPUs? There is a significant performance difference between the two in FCPX and Motion 5. But I highly doubt that's your issue. I think you simply are eating up too much of your drive, and running off the system drive, both are huge no-no's.

Streaming Issues from Mac Pro using Apple TV

I have recently purchased a Mac Book Pro with retina display and tried streaming content using my apple tv (3rd gen). The picture streams (providing my bluetooth is off) but the sound continuously stutter. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello PaulKinger,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are experiencing some performance issues with sound while using AirPlay between your Mac Pro and your Apple TV. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest working through the steps outlined in the attached article.
Resolve issues with AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring from iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Resolve performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express.
Try these suggestions:
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Have a great day,
Joe

PPro Performance Variance on Mac Pro 2013: CC Version 7.0 vs. Version 8.0

Hi,
I've been editing on a late 2013 Mac Pro model with Yosemite (see system specs in the JPEG below). I have really mixed results editing with the most up to date version of Premiere Pro CC. Playback in a timeline lags significantly with 4K and standard HD 1080p media and the software crashes more often than I would like. I have tried a few things like checking the permissions status of varying media and project folders. I do not use GPU-based rendering as that has been problematic, creating pink lines etc. in the resulting previews and exports. Even after previews are rendered for a timeline, playback still lags regardless of media resolution.
In general, as a Premiere project becomes more complex, crashes become more frequent and playback lags even more. Dynamic Linking with AE causes so many crashes that is basically not functional. The only plug-ins I'm using are Magic Bullet and FilmConvert.
I'm not a huge fan of the shift in workflow/edit logic in FCP X, and want to avoid making that transition if I can. In an attempt to test the varied performance of Premiere, I have reverted to a previous version, CC 7.0. MY initial testing shows that this version renders previews more quickly (still without GPU assistance) and playback seems to lag less. Of course I imported an XML from a project originating in V. 8.0 and there are a few translation issues mostly related to warp stabilizing and color correction, which can be fixed if the overall performance boost is greater.
I have read a handful of forums of users experiencing similar or even more drastic difficulty running Premiere on a new MacPro platform. I have explored some of the troubleshoots suggested, but no major changes in performance. It seems to be hit or miss in terms of Premiere/MacPros playing well together. Strange that no one factor can seem to be pinpointed.
Has anyone else been fiddling with this option of using a previous version of Premiere on a Mac Pro? Any success? Other suggestions to improve performance in the latest version?
Thanks!

I just had an interesting thought.
I use the method of dragging a clip to the "new item" button to create a matching sequence of my majority media type for a project. Have there been any bugs or issues reported with this technique on the latest version of Premiere Pro CC? This is a possibility I haven't yet explored in terms of the issues I am experiencing with playback. When this thought dawned on me today, I took a look at my sequence settings in a troublesome clip, and am not sure it quite matches up. In this example, details in screenshot below, my majority footage was shot on a Canon XA20. The resulting sequence is using at ARRI Cinema editing mode. That seems to be a mis-match, but maybe not? Thoughts? Suggestions? Helpful resources about "editing modes" and optimization for playback? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Aperture and PS performance difference on Mac Pro - new Macbook Pro 2.53

I am considering selling and replacing two computers with one new MBP 2.53 ghz 15 inch with 4gb RAM. The new MBP would be replacing a nearly three-year-old Mac Pro dual 2.66 with with 9gb RAM, a Nvidia 8800 GT graphics card (512 vram); and a Macbook Pro 2.3 ghz of about the same age. The replacement is due to space issues mainly (we are renovating the house and accommodating our new baby!) but also because I tend to dispose of my macs at about three years to before the resale value drops too much. My main concern is about what performance reduction (or even enhancement?) I will see compared to the Mac Pro tower in general and, more specifically, performance when it comes to running Aperture, CS4 and Lightroom. It would be good to here from anybody (especially photographers) who has made a similar switch. Also I have read that the new MBP is supposed to take 6gb Ram (through "not supported by Apple") any info on this would be good, too.
Note that I have cross posted this to the Aperture forum.
Cheers
D

I cannot from personal experience describe what the performance change will be but my expectation is that properly set up with E/C34-eSATA external hard drives performance would probably equal or exceed the G5. The real unknown is the effect of 4 GB RAM instead of 9 GB RAM - - especially when we are on OS 10.6 Snow Leopard a few months from now.
What I can comment on is buy the 17" MBP rather than the 15" MBP. My reasons:
• More screen real estate, a very big deal when in the field and no external display is connected.
• Much higher pixel count, a very big deal when in the field and no external display is connected.
• Available matte display, a very big deal (to many pro photogs, including me) when in the field and no external display is connected. Note however that none of us have actually seen the new 17" MBP because it has not shipped yet.
• Faster; the added size and easier heat dissipation of the 17" apparently allow Apple to make less engineering compromises.
• Twice the available RAM, a very big deal moving forward as app vendors evolve apps to better utilize available cheap RAM, OS 10.6 and boxes with more RAM access. Under OS X Photoshop (and probably Aperture as well) can already take advantage of up to 32 GB installed RAM, maybe more.
• Longer battery life is alleged, which matters not to me but some folks care.
• After years of using 15" and smaller, starting with the Duo, I now use a 2.33 GHz 17" and far prefer the larger size.
• All the above benefits and it only weighs 1.1 pound more than the 15" MBP.
IMO graphics performance of the new 17" MBP with 8 GB RAM will easily exceed your G5. Unfortunately the cost of maximizing RAM in the new MBP is still exorbitant, but that price will fall.
-Allen Wicks
P.S. Adding RAM adds heat, which may be why Apple does not support more than 4 GB RAM in the 15" size.
P.P.S. If you move to a laptop-only workflow use Referenced Masters, keep the Library on the internal drive and make sure the internal drive stays underfilled for speed of all apps.

Internal hard drive issue with Mac Pro

I work for two office that share information through a VPN. Each office has one Mac Pro being used as a server for data storage. The Pros have four internal hard drives (1TB each).
Hard drives in the Pro for OFFICE 1 were configured like so:
HD1 - OS/Boot drive
HD2 - Time Machine backup of HD1/DATA1/DATA2
DATA1 - Data storage
DATA2 - Data storage
Three weeks ago: Time Machine could not find HD2 and could not backup. I rebooted the machine and HD2 reappeared. However, after the reboot, DATA1 did not mount. I was unable to find DATA1 in Disk Utility. However, the drive could be accessed by all other Macs on the network. This machine was taken to the local Apple Store and we were told that HD2 was a bad drive and need to be replaced. We opted not to replaced the drive at this time and turned Time Machine backups off. We haven't had any problems with DATA1 since. (NOTE: During the weeks prior, the client machines intermittently lost connection with DATA1 and would have to reconnect)
Last week: OFFICE 2 - Mac Pro hard drives configured the same as OFFICE 1; however, HD2 was not used for TM backups. TM was turned on and set to backup HD1/DATA1/DATA2 to HD2 (exactly like OFFICE 1). The next day, TM could not find HD2 and backups stopped running. I rebooted the machine, HD2 reappeared, but we did not restart the TM backups.
Today: OFFICE 2 client machines have experienced intermittent disconnecting of DATA1.
I wasn't extremely concerned with the situation at OFFICE 1 as these Pros are almost five years old and in constant use. We plan on purchasing an external drive for the TM backups. HOWEVER, with a similar situation now being experienced in OFFICE 2, I am perplexed.
Could both machine be experiencing hard drive failures weeks apart? They were both purchased and installed at the same time.
Is there a known issue with TM and internal drives?
One difference between the two machines: OFFICE 1 is running OS X 10.8.5; OFFICE 2 runs 10.6.8
Any suggestions/help is appreciated. Thanks!

Relying on TimeMachine has some issues, along with only having one, I use at least two swapping TimeMachine so that they rotate AND I clone every drive (volume actually) so I can swap drives if need be, especially useful for t he system but good for any drive.
Power issues in t he buildings?
There are some programs that will scan for and report and./or attempt to reassign a failing sector ("fail" is qualitative, is 10 write failures a fail? then the 9th is not but it is a "weak sector.") Some run in the background.
Mirror can be 2 or 3 ( I prefer 3, that way if one fails I STILL have a mirror array in place) where any failure is not acceptable, AND where the array data is backed up usually - less important when using a three-drive configurations.
How old, when last initialized (zero), and is it showing spare blocks being used? that last is the most indicative of failed drive.
Rare but a bad SATA cable or power (seeing how the cables are tucked away) is only way generally for multiple failures in same drive bay or computer. Note: early on in 2006-7 there were reports of some customers having motherboard and trouble with a drive bay , and t he problems showed up early.
Often though it is NVRAM or SMC related issue trigged by something else, a USB cable or device that is faulty, even a PCIe controller that is the culprit. And replacing cable, keyboard, device, and resetting SMC and NVRAM (often NVRAM needed to be done multiple times, but never keep resetting SMC) - unplugged and when you connect back up, do not install anything other than system, keyboard and mouse and see if that helps.
With a drive, likely the drive in 85% or more, is fine, but the directory is not, or it needs to be erased to rebuild all the system partitions.
1TB is small for TimeMachine. 350% of the amount of data, and always have free space for a full backup set of all the data. T.M. will try and prefers to automatically backup any and everything plugged in and connected, rather than my preference which is ASK FIRST to add a drive to TM backup set, otherwise leave it out. 600GB of data and system would mean 2.5TB drive, maybe 2TB minimum.

Windows 7 Install Issues with Mac Pro

I have Mac Pro with Windows XP SP3 installed with Boot Camp on a separate, dedicated 250GB HD.
I purchased an upgrade version of Windows 7 Home Premium. I hoped to install the 64-bit version. I upgraded, per Boot Camp I&S Guide, Boot Camp to version 3.1. After Boot Camp upgrade, I mounted the Windows 7 64-bit installation disk. Since the Windows disk did not open automatically, I then attempted to open the Setup.exe file but got the following error message –
“D:/setup.exe is not a valid Win 32 application.”
I suspect the Boot Camp 3.1 upgrade was for the 32-bit Windows XP system currently installed and this caused Windows 7 (64-bit) not to open.
If my suspicion is correct, would upgrading to Boot Camp 3.1 (64-bit) cause problems with the currently installed Windows XP? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have since attempted to boot from the Windows 7 install disk by using both the OS 10.6.3 System Preferences/Startup Disk and from within Windows XP using the Boot Camp Control Panel. In both cases, all I saw was a black screen with a “Select CD-ROM Boot Type” and flashing cursor. No keyboard input was possible.
If anyone encounters this problem, go to the Boot Camp/Installation and Storage discussion and search for “Select CD-ROM Boot Type”. Hal Jay Greene has an excellent article here titled “Select CD-ROM Boot Type Error installing Windows 7 in Boot Camp walkthrough” dated Mar 20, 2010 that walks one through the process of creating a boot disk for installing Windows 7 x64. Two minor comments on his discussion. John Anderson’s blog is at www.AndersonsHatch.com (note extra s) and Imgburn can be downloaded free from www.imgburn.com.
I used Mr. Greene’s procedure and the resultant boot disk loaded Windows 7 correctly.
Unfortunately, a new issue arose. Installing Windows 7 over Windows XP requires a clean install that eliminates all Boot Camp installations. After installing Windows 7, I attempted to load Boot Camp by inserting the Mac SL installation disk and clicking on Setup in the Boot Camp folder. The result was this error message: “Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model”. Fortunately, there is a procedure that worked for me, and my MacPro, to bypass this error message. It can be found near the bottom of this article http://blog.andersonshatch.com/2009/01/11/windows-7-x64-on-a-macbook-pro-guide/ on John Anderson’s blog.

I'm on my second graphics card [ATI Radeon HD 2600] after having issues with the original [NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT]. The issue with the NVIDIA card was that, at times, it would display digital artifacts, glitches, distortion and freeze up the system forcing me to have to do a hard shut down. I found many reports of similar issues with that card and the Mac Pro 1,1's.
When I replaced it with the ATI the problem went away for 6 months and now IT"S BACK.
So, are there any particular graphics cards that work OK with the Mac Pro 1,1? I don't want to waste my money again only to encounter the same issue!
I'm also contemplating getting a new Mac all together.
Please advise, I've read many threads with this issue and they all seem to point to the same deal: replace the card. I can't afford to keep replacing graphics cards.
Saki

The 2600XT required 10.5.2+ and while it may 'look' like a G5 the Mac Pro is not. G5 refers to IBM PowerPC based, not Intel Xeon EFI based.
You're running 10.6.3, might want to update your profile itself.

Urgent Issue New Mac Pro (Im going CRAZY)

I recently purchased a MAC Pro with the following specifications:
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: DUAL 2.26 GHz
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per processor): 8 MB
Memory: 6 GB
Graphic Card:
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce GT 120
and I seem to be getting very slow results in Motion. I have an IMAC with motion and it is able to process and playback faster than on my MAC PRO.
FCP is a thousand times faster but I am mainly working with Motion.
Also when I am on the internet and looking at some websites with Flash I notice a slower results with the MAC PRO
I am guessing my issue here is with the Graphics Card..
But How WHAT? I am using a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 (I know its not super fast but faster than that on my IMAC)
Is there some type of control of allowing me to use more of the graphics card? I just am wondering if the graphics card is being maximized and if it is what does this mean? I know that I could buy another NIVIDA GeForce GT 120 but will my system be able to use them both. I am using Leopard and I know that the software like motion and even leopard are limited to how much of the graphics card may be used.
Ahhh
Please help!!

First, what versions of FCS/OS are you using on your i-Mac and what versions on your new Mac Pro?
Second, Motion does not like working with more than one card installed, however, I have two 2400HD cards installed and have no problems with motion (FCS 2). Some believe the two card problem is with Plugs, not Motion. I tend to agree.
Third, there is a known problem with Flash player in both Macs and PCs. I answered this question yesterday on this dissucussion board. You need to uninstall all traces of Flash player and then reinstall the latest player. The uninstaller, instructions and info about the problem is on the Adobe support page.
Post back with the info from my first comment and we'll go from there.

Photoshop performance on new Mac Pro Nehalem

If my current comparison is a dual quad core 2.66GHz "old" Mac Pro, and want new "Nehalem" Mac Pro, where Photoshop performs equally.
Should I get a 2.66 Quad Core Mac Pro (given I accept the 8 GB RAM limit)?
Should I get a 2.26 Dual Quad Core Mac Pro?
Where is Adobe going in the optimizations of Photoshop application and filters?
Will optimizations be done for CS4, CS5, or even later?
Please show me the path.
Søren

Correct
not acceptable.
Phil-
Of course any 4-core Mac Pro with 8 GB RAM and appropriate graphics card will run any version of Photoshop very well, but you miss the point.
"just buy the most machine you can afford" is actually quite complicated.
The point is that we have
multiple Mac Pro computer investment
choices
and prices to choose among:
boxes from 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 with various graphics cards and other architectural parameters to consider when choosing the "best" one for any given workflow and financial situation.
With 11 Mac Pros (further complicated by confusing graphics cards combinations) it behooves us to quickly remove what may be
unacceptable investment choices from consideration. The one box of 11 that limits RAM to 8 GB is - IMO - easily identified as "unacceptable" and removed from consideration.
Moving forward :) as app vendors evolve apps to better utilize available cheap RAM, OS 10.6 and boxes with more RAM access (like all the other Mac Pros ever made) ever-larger amounts of
cheap RAM will become more useful. E.g. I paid US$450 to upgrade my 2007 Macbook Pro from 2 GB to 3 GB, and it was worth it. Today that much money will put 24 GB in a MP, and RAM prices continue to fall.
Under OS X Photoshop can already take advantage of at least 32 GB installed RAM. We do not know what 64-bit Mac PS will bring us in a year or so, but odds are pretty high that having lots of RAM available will be very desirable. IMO buying a 4-year-lifecycle pro tower in 2009 that is constrained to 8 GB RAM would be a poor purchase decision.
All the above comments assume heavy graphics app usage like CS3/4/5.
-Allen
P.S.
We agree about the new Mini. Even with its limited RAM (and consequent shortened life cycle) the low price makes it a viable choice for less than the heaviest graphics work.
The new Mini IMO is the sleeper of the new Macs. iMacs are hamstrung by their glossy displays intolerable to many (not all) graphics pros but the Minis are not. Running OS 10.6 with FW 800 connectivity, 9400M graphics, 4 GB DDR3 RAM and third-party displays a Mini can now actually drive a desktop Aperture or Photoshop workflow (although obviously not like a 4x-the-price MP would drive such apps) at a very cheap price.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 Playback Issue / Crash Mac Pro 2011

Hi,
I've been having a big crash issue on Premiere Pro CC 2014, since the 2014.1 update.
2014.0 has been working fine this year but the update has crashed some of my biggest current projects.
Programs just starts fine, workspace responds, but anything related to playback just crashes or freezes Premiere.
My config:
Mac Pro Mid 2010
Processor : 2x2,93 6-core Xeon
Ram : 24Go 1333
2x ATI Radeon HD 5770.
I've been reading all major topics on this, this i did :
- disable Mercury Transmission
- Flushes Premiere cache
- Reinstall premiere
- Updated to Mavericks (issue happened both in 10.9 and 10.10 - thought updating drivers+opencl would help, then again no)
- Repaired permissions
- Tried with another user session
… and so on.
Nothing yet has solved my issue, anyone to help me on this major trouble ?
Thanks in advance, best regards !
Paul

Hi Paul,
Try the following:
Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
Update any GPU drivers
Trash preferences
Ensure Adobe folder preferences are set to read/write in all 3 locations.
Delete media cache
Remove plug-ins
Repair permissions
In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
Disconnect any third party hardware
Disable App Nap
Reboot
I placed the chief culprits in bold.
Report back if anything here worked for you.
Thanks,
Kevin
