for the life of me I don't understand why sometimes my video playback smooth and other times its dropping frames
the same exact video, 16gb ram, no other programs open
Literally I can be editing for hrs fine, come back later in the day and it is dropping frames every few seconds
here is what I have which are default, see image
I am 99% sure when I make a new multi cam clip that its transcodes/renders that automatically
My workflow is…
new event
import
highlight files I want to use in multi cam
right click, new multi cam clip
(automatic w/audio synch)
place multicam clip into new project
switch angles using mutlicam viewer
i read some stuff about using optimized and/or proxy files but I can't find anything solid on what it is/does so I am not sure it is worth it especially since I don't know how it will effect HD space and the whole editing process
