Now that we're starting to reshoot, I of course have to have problems with my Final Cut 6.
We shot a demo scene a while ago using his DSLR camera, and I was able to edit it fine.
Last night I hooked up the new raw footage that's on my Ext HD (one of these that doesn't need a power outlet. It holds 1T of data.) It still has over 500gigs of empty space. My HD has 100gigs of space (out of 150gigs).
I imported all the transcoded files, and on the first one I get dropped frames every 2 seconds. So, basically there's a problem. I've changed the playback to lo picture quality, and still it doesn't play.
If we hadn't used footage before I'd just say my computer won't handle this HD material. But, I did. I created a complete scene (about 4 minutes) with the same amount of memory.
Any ideas where the problem may be?
Also, if I decide to get a new computer. Will working off these external HDs make the computer work slower?
Thanks: George
