External Hard Drive Lag In FCP

Hey so I was able to move my footage to my external hard-drive. I am editing 4K footage too. It is lagging now 🥲 When I preview the footage in the library on the side, it’s fine. Only when I have it on a time like is when it lags. Can someone please help! 😩

Projects burned on Blu-ray not playing on standard Blu-ray players The most recent project that I finished will go through the share to Blu-ray process and burn in to a blu-ray disc, but the disc will only play on my 4k blu ray player and will not play on standard blu ray player. The disc appears on the players menu, but when selected to play the screen goes black, as if in the loading process, and then after a moment returns to the blu-ray players menu screen. My standard blu ray player and 4k player are Sony brand. I have tried every possible option I can think of to burn the blu ray to get it to work on a standard blu ray player, but nothing seems to be working. Is there setting that I am missing that needs to be adjusted? Was there a change in a recent update that is affecting this. All previous projects have worked with no issue. Any ideas??

Ventura Behavior Changed: Photos Upload Dialog - Can't See Folders and Albums, only the entire Library. When I attempt to upload photos to Smugmug via its Web interface, I click "browse this computer" and a Finder-ish dialog pops up. Prior to Ventura, when I click on "Photos" under "Media" in the left side pane, it would bring up a new pane that had at the top, the Apple Photos color-wheel icon, with a dropdown that showed my Apple Photos Folder and Album structure. I could navigate to a Photos Folder / Album, select the photos from that album I wanted and they would upload. Now in Ventura, the behavior changed. In Ventura when I click "browse this computer" on the same Smugmug interface, the Finder-ish dialog pop-up still shows "Photos" under "Media", but I do not have the option of navigating through my Apple Photos Folders and Albums. I only see a view equivalent to Library / Photos in Apple Photos. There is a blue folder saying Photos at the top, no color-wheel, and no Folder/Album structure, and no way to navigate to a particular Album in Apple Photos. I want to see the Folder / Album information so I can easily find the photos I have already organized into albums and not have to pick through my entire library. I have tried Safari and Chrome with the same result. How can this functionality be restored in Ventura?

What drive? HD? SSD? How is connected? How is it formatted? How full is it?

All of that can have an impact.

Also: does the project frame size and frame rate match those of your clips?
