My media is DNxHD 45. It plays smoothly off the same disks on a quad core Intel Windows 7 laptop with MC 6.5. However, this is the 3rd Windows 10 laptop (all quad core, slightly faster) laptop with MC 8.5.2 I'm trying and the playback is either un-smooth throughout (first 2 laptops), or has random get-stuck-jump-forward behavior (3rd laptop).
MC 8.5.2 seems to behave much better on a lower powered Mac book. Anyone else having playback issues on Windows/MC 8.5?
How I wish they did not break the project file compatibility from MC 6 to MC 8 - I have no need of the MC 8 features, but people I am collaborating with have moved up, so I too have to.
