EtreCheckPro version: 6.8.2 (68031) Report generated: 2023-09-27 12:59:37 Download EtreCheckPro from https://etrecheck.com Runtime: 1:33 Performance: Excellent Problem: Beachballing Description: I have a new Mac Studio M2 Ultra, 128 GB memory, and OS Ventura 13.5.2 . I am editing a video that includes a good number of tracks for both audio and video (including effects). The software I am using is Camtas ia 2023. The video is about 10 minutes long. Every time I save my prog ress I get the beach ball for a longer time as I continue editing. The last time I saved my progress, the beach ball appeared for about 7 se conds! So far, I have only seen the beach ball while saving, not durin g editing (adding elements, effects, or modifying existing ones). I th ought I should not experience this with the Mac Studio, especially wit h the M2 Ultra chip and 128 GB of memory. Am I correct? Is the beach b all normal while saving? Should I be alarmed? Your guidance and suppor t will be greatly appreciated. I just updated to Sonoma 14.0 Major Issues: Anything that appears on this list needs immediate attention.
