Q: Choppy FCPX playback while editing
I am trying to edit a 5 minute clip using 4K footage. I am already using proxy. When I playback, both the sound and the image are jumpy. All my footage is in exterior hard drive with plenty of room available and my iMac has 227 GB free.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.

A multi-cam project might have several video (and audio) streams.
Actually, I believe your system should not even need to use Proxy.
Create a new test project. Drop one of your video clips – nothing more – and play it, If if plays smoothly, change Media to Original and switch Quality to Better Performance. See whether that's choppy.
