Hi folks:
I seem to be experiencing some sort of RAM issue with 10.11.3 and MC 8.5, related to waveform display. I use a Magic Mouse (first gen) on my (late 2010) Mac Pro tower. The timeline performance seems to work and then not work – ie. fast scrubbing on the timeline will be brilliant one moment, then not work at all. Same with scrolling up/down/side to side. It will work as you'd expect, then stop working – as if the system is chugging to catch up.
I just tried turning off the waveform display, and it seems to work properly. Even though, it worked fine in the past on 8.4.4, in Yosemite, with waveforms being displayed.
The clips are part of a feature film project – and I hear a lot of disk activity, and it's not my backup systems – is it possible that the AVID is indexing all the clip waveforms in the BG, thus the slowdown?
When I was playing around with the new Media Cache settings, I may have pressed the Flush Frame Cache. Would that explain it?
Any advice welcome. Hope this post isn't too convoluted...just trying to piece it together. If 8.5 can work as advertised, I'll be a pretty happy camper!
Thanks, JIM.
