FCPX Playback head slow in timeline? Using Proxies.
Im editing 5k footage shot on the Red Epic. I have a interview laid out in my timeline (or project) and I am going through and setting my "IN" and "OUT" marks and cutting using "APPLE-X". Also using "J" on keyboard to rewind to certain points where I want to mark my "IN" points. The footage runs great until I start cutting frequently. My playhead starts to be slower than the actual video playing back. So when I make my "IN" and "OUTS" and then cut, my edit is about 6 or 7 frames off. It seems as if the playhead is lagging or it is slowed. Every clip is converted to the 1080 proxies. I am not mixing footage formats. Im editing with the proxy setting enabled. I am cutting from a GTECH Firewire 800 Drive. Here are my computer specs:
MAC PRO:
MAC OS X 10.6.8
Processor: 2 x 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 32 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
GFX: ATI Radeon HD 5870
Final Cut Pro X 10.0.6
Please let me know if you can help me.
Thanks
