Q: FCPX lagging
My computer has been lagging in final cut pro. I can't figure out why, I'm pretty sure that there is no reason for it to lag as far as hardware goes (i've got a 2014 5k imac, 16 gb of ram, 3.5 ghz core i5 and an AMD Radeon R9 M295X with 4 gb of VRAM) my computer will start to lag while doing simple tasks such as scrubbing, moving elements onto the timeline and playback to name a few things when projects get even two minutes long with cuts every 5-10 seconds and some text. This might be how final cut works and I just dont understand, but it used to not preform so badly and there isn't anything that has changed to my knowledge. I've seen people editing far more complex things than what lag my computer out on systems not as good as mine with no lag at all. If there is anything that could be causing this please tell me. Thanks.
iMac with Retina 5K display
