spinning ball - fcpx 10.6.3 - Mac M1pro - Sony FX9 files
Hello folks, i'm having a hard time with the spinning ball appearing when I tried to playback the timeline, specially from the very begginning. When the playback finally starts, it's very choppy. After three or four tries it begins to run smoothly. Then I work a bit on my edit, and when I come back to playback, same problem again.
I'm editing 4k XAVC 4.2.2 10 bit 25p from Sony FX9 and FX3, but in a 1080p timeline 25p. No multicam, no text overlays, no plugins. A simple clip by clip timeline.
Since FCPX didn't ask for optimized that media, I was trying to edit the original media. After applying some basic color correction, this time the dot line appears so I rendered the timeline, but the issue persits.
Transcoding to proxy seems to solve the problem, but it's far from ideal and I don't know why fcpx it's choppy if everything is supposed to be rendered.
I've tried moving the library and the footage to my ssd internal disk, or even to another ssd disk. I've deleted fcpx preferences. No luck.
I'm kind of dissapointed that my M1 pro cannot handle these files.

FCPX 10.6.3
Any help appreciated.
