I'm editing a project with 150gb of video clips and I can't even edit for a minute without it beach balling!! I have 500gb available on my hard drive and there are literally only clips in the timeline (around half hr of clips) and no transitions or effects. Even when I just started editing from the beginning it caused problems. And it won't let me make proxies because it says there isn't enough space which doesn't make sense because there is!

Project is 1920x1080 24fps

I'm editing off an ssd (sandisk) that has 500gb available (1tb hard drive).


There's around 200gb of files being used in the library. The project I'm currently working on is using half of the media but I plan to use from all the media in the final version.

Go to System Preferences and see if there is a Profiles pane (or something like that; it does not show unless there exist configuration profiles, so I haven't got that in my mac).


I suppose this was probably installed by one of your programs, that is tracking your screen activity.

It is possible that this has something to do with the FCP issue, or not.
