FCPX Play Back Lag! Please Help!!!

I have Final Cut 10.2.1 and I am getting some serious playback lag! `I tried the obvious choices, unclicking in better quality also changing the proxy, but nothing is working. These are 1080p clips shot from a cannon T3I camera. I have troubleshooted this thing and I am still getting a playback. I don't know if it's my computer, because I just got a imac two months ago. I launched Adobe Premiere pro cloud thinking it's FCP, but it's playback is lagging to! I thought it was my Ram, but I am well within the requirements. Plus it's frustrating, because my wife and I edited a whole documentary on a macbook pro with only 4gb of Ram and it worked perfect. I am at my end. The files are stored on a external hard drive, so it's not on my system. I can't think of what's wrong with my system. My computer specs are on the bottom. Thank you!

I was saddened that you thought my reply was an attempt at being smart.The inclusion of an emoji was a failed attempt on my part to indicate that my reply was light hearted.

My reply was intended to keep the ball in play as I thought your reply had the potential of stopping right there, with no further responses.

Whether my response did have that effect or not will remain a mystery.

Any way, the main thing is that you appear to have got it solved,and that is the aim of these forums.
