Green in viewer and very slow

My first couple of days with FCP X. I have 2 x major problems - that maybe related.
The first problem is that it feels like it is slowed down by background rendering but when i check the background tasks everything is idle.
Second as I scroll or play from either event browser or timeline a blank green image appears in the viewer - suspect that this maybe causd by the slowness. it has now got to a point where I cannot continue as almost at a complete halt. I hav equit and restated FCP and also restarted the computer - I have replaced finalcut.plist from the user library.
I am using an iMac 27" - Jauary 2010 - 16 Gb ram. Hard disk external WD firewire 800.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Many many thanks - It was not until I read your reply that I remembered that the footage I was using was from a corrupt Card, that was not recognised by FCP 7 (or iMovie for that matter) and it had been extracted (some months ago) by a converter to H264.
I converted it via Streamclip, this morning, before importing it again into FCP X and all is well.
All the same I had asked FCP X to optimize it on original import. BUT it may not have completed that, as FCP X told me there were background operations in progress when It quit it to do a reboot. Now that might mean that FCP X does not continue to optimize when it restarts - must check that out.
You have saved my bacon. Thanks

    I am having a problem with premirepro cc locking up and very slow to load bigger projects.
    Windows 8 machine

    I am having the EXACT same issue and now we are WAY behind deadlines.  We have Adobe for Teams on 3 computers, all are HPZ820, Dual Proc with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 @ 2.00GHz, 32 GB RAM, Dual Video Cards Quadro 6000 4GB, Windows 7 64 bit with all the latest patches.  Everything worked on the first release of 2014 but last week there was an "update" to Premiere.  Since this update, projects work for a short period.  When you start a new project and add footage, you can scrub the footage and play the footage with no issue.  But the more assets you add, simple Titles, it slowly starts to fail.  Playing the timeline starts and stops and then finally the end result is you can't even play the timeline.  The Program window is frozen.  I have even tested starting a new project, adding assets one by one but no matter what, I get the same results.

    iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad

    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Cd tray opening on boot up and very slow boot up, 5 mins plus

    Hello, very new to Macs, only had this a few days. G4 800 mzh 1.5 gb ram running os 10.4. Cd tray opens on boot up and very slow boot up. Tried resetting pram and fsck. No joy with either.

    A warm welcome to Macdom & Apple's forums!
    You may need to reinstall some things, or maybe even the whole OS.
    How much free space is on the HD of what size?
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!

  • Short Battery Life and Very Slow Data on 4S

    Short Battery Life and Very Slow Data on 4S,
    anyone else noticing the slow speed of data on this phone?

    Yes, I measure my slow data on Sprint in kpbs, not Mpbs. Like standard is download maybe 250kpbs, upload 100kpbs (that's 0.25 Mbps and 0.1 Mbps). On the same tower my buddy who has an AT&T iPhone 4 shows 2.5Mbps download and 1.5Mbps upload (that's 2500kbps and 1500kpbs), a LOT faster. Sprint has not been much help.

  • POP3 mail servers locking up and very slow!

    POP3 mail servers locking up and very slow! What is the deal with this? Verizon does not monitor these situations? Residential mail a low priority. Businesses run their own servers. Now we are back to having server issues again with Verizons Email? Last time mail was being delayed and now servers connect and lock up!

    FWIW I am not experiencing any slowdowns or lockups on email. I Just checked two of my Verizon email accounts and no problem. But it is almost an hour since you posted so maybe Verizon fixed something?

  • View is very slow.

    Hi All,
    I have a view which has 15 select statement using union. It's a complex view.
    create or replace view v1 (c1,c2,c3)
    as
    select c1,c2,c3 from t1,t20,t30,t40 where ...............
    union
    select c1,c2,c3 from t2,t3,t4,t5 where ...............
    union
    select c1,c2,c3 from t15,t16,t,17 where ...............
    If I run the select statement on its own its very quick, records are retrieved in milli seconds.
    select c1,c2,c3 from t1,t20,t30,t40 where c1 = xyz
    union
    select c1,c2,c3 from t2,t3,t4,t5 where c1 = xyz
    union
    select c1,c2,c3 from t15,t16,t,17 where c1 = xyz
    but If I run the same selects through a view then it takes 10 min.
    select * from v1 where c1 = xyz
    Can someone tell me whats the difference,why the view is so slow as its the same sql in a view and if there is a work around.I have to make this view run faster as its used in Oracle forms.
    Thanks.
    V.

    I tried doing UNION ALL and ran the same query it made no difference. It took still 10 min, which means whether its union or union all oracle is not able to push the predicate inside the various sub queries . Thanks Rob.
    Any other solutions ?
    I think I may have to take the select statments from the view and create the form based on the proecudure using the select statements.

  • Oracle query / view performing very slow.

    Hello,
    I had created a view in my application for example
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW EmpTransfer
    ( EMPID,EMPNAME,EMPMANAGER,EMPDOB,EMPTRANSFER)
    AS
    SELECT EMPID,EMPNAME,EMPMANAGER,EMPDOB,EMPTRANSFER
    FROM EMP ;
    After couple of months if we changed a columnname in the table EMP and added a new column.
    We changed column name EMPTRANSFER to OldEMPTRANSFER and added a new column as NEWEMPTRANSFER.
    The indexes were recreated on OldEMPTRANSFER and new index is creatd on NEWEMPTRANSFER column.
    the view is again recreated.
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW EmpTransfer
    ( EMPID,EMPNAME,EMPMANAGER,EMPDOB,OldEMPTRANSFER,NEWEMPTRANSFER )
    AS
    SELECT EMPID,EMPNAME,EMPMANAGER,EMPDOB,OldEMPTRANSFER ,NEWEMPTRANSFER
    FROM EMP ;
    This view is working as expected but some times this view is working very slow.
    The performance of this view is randomly slow.
    Is it possible that column name change will cause slowness...?

    What's the explain plans for both before and after the column change? It could possibly be running slow the first time because of a hard parse due to the query change, which will remain until it's in the shared_pool.

  • View creation very slow - not materialized view

    I have a view creation script which is running in a fraction of a second in the dev environment but takes over an hour to run in the test environment.
    The test environment is off-site, so I have no direct access to it. It does have a lot more data in than dev, but this is not a materialised view so as far as I understood it the amount of data in the system shouldn't affect the time to create the view.
    I haven't been able to find any information on what can make this happen. In the development environment I can be querying the view (or can lock it directly), and am still able to run the CREATE OR REPLACE statement without any performance impact. The view does contain function calls and is created with the FORCE keyword, but I can't find any evidence that this should affect the speed of creation.
    I am running Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4.0) on Solaris in both dev and test environments.
    Any ideas on what could be causing this are very welcome.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response.
    Trying the same thing without the FORCE keyword made no difference, the view still takes a long time to compile and there are no compilation errors.
    On the development system, I have run a long-running query on the view and checked V$Access. This returns a record for the view, but I can still successfully run the CREATE OR REPLACE statement on the view in another session. This appears to show that a record in V$Access doesn't mean that the view can't be recompiled.
    On the test system there are no other sessions connected and no records for the view in V$Access.
    Does anyone have any other ideas?
