Thanks, Tom, what I wrote is not clear enough I see... But my question was: were I good find the explanation of importing clips either or not in proxy. But I just found with the keyword "proxy". (is is not mentioned in the left colum of the help in fcpx) It takes a very long time to render it into proxy and than you do see nothing except in the control panel at the right side... (I expected a proxy- clip in the browser... So, to transfer into proxy takes a lot of time... Will a ssd improve this?
(btw; I activated "follow" but I did n't got a mail about your reply ...)
An SSD will probably not make a big difference in the creation of proxies because this is mainly CPU-bound.
Regarding the following of a thread I believe you misunderstood it and effectively “unfollowed” it. When you start or reply to a thread you are “following” it by default and it will say “Following” or similar. If you click that you undo it.
Depending on the media you're using and the system capabilities proxies may not be of value. They're mostly used if you're working with very high resolution media like 6K or 8K RED files, or if you're working in mtulicam projects where you have to run multiple streams of video and audio in sync.
I was working with multicam (4 streams) and got so many remarkable problems over and over. Now, for the 4e time I made the (short) project again and it seems to be o.k. after (long) rendering one mp4 clip. (the other were .mov) May be the reason for not smooth running in timeline? (and a little bit better when no angels activated?) Till now it runs o.k.
Four angles playing from a rotating hard drive? It is no surprise if that doesn’t play smoothly. Yes, in these circumstances it can be expected that closing the angle viewer helps.
