I 'linked' to 4TB of (mostly AVCI from F5) material on a USB3 single drive. Not ideal, I know.
Quite often, usually having just loaded a stringout of linked clips in the source monitor, MC would hang. Sometimes it would come back after a while, other times I'd have to force quit.
Activity monitor showed minimum CPU activity for MC, Bin Indexer, Avid AppMan Helper and Background Services.
I had the feeling that MC was indexing the linked media - but there is no indication of this.
Eventually I copied the media across to the Raid and relinked. This worked better but still would occasionally hang in the same manner. Consolidating the linked media that I was using helped a lot.
Are there best practise guides for editing with linked material in v8.5?
Thanks
