Why is my final cut pro so slow?
I just started using final cut pro on my iMac and I've noticed the performance is horrible. I have an event with about 20-30 clips in them, each 10-20 seconds long. The videos are shot using a DSLR using 60p with the AVCHD format. Even when I tried to scroll the event browser, the lag is 2-3 seconds long. The panel doesn't even scroll smoothly.
Here are my specs of the iMac.

Do I need a better machine to operate final cut pro?
