Hi, I've something to ask you,

When I make a playback of my Timeline, when I want to move the headline or when I'm triming clips (in 1080p) the software is not really reactive like before (even if I made a "Clean Bin Memory")... obviously, my hardware hasn't changed so far.

So is it possible to improuve Media Composer performances if yes, how ?

Some infos of my config:

MacBook Pro 15" Late 2016

i7 2,6GHz – 16GB of RAM – AMD Radeon 450 (don't laugh please  ) – 256GB of internal SSD but not used for editing obvuously – 512GB of external SSD (Crucial M2 SSD connnected in USB type-C gen. 2)

macOS Mojave 10.14.2 (latest actually) 

Components average usage:

Project: 1080p @24fps – Rec.709 all clips were transcoded in Apple ProRes 422 MOV and come from a Sony a6300

(All values were taken in playback and editing)

CPU: 5% – GPU: 85% – RAM: 77% represents 9.10GB on 16GB (it seems to much in my opinion) – Internal SSD: 68% – External SSD: 16% (yes only 16...) – Temperatures: CPU: ≈55°C – GPU: ≈41°C – SSDs: ≈35°C (pretty slow compared to Premiere Pro )

Thanks for your advences... :)

MOV? Are they AMA'd? Or did you mean Avid MXF native files?

Hi, thanks for your reply...

They are in Apple ProRes 442 8bits in MOV and linked by AMA

convert them to Avid native MXF file via consolidate. Performance should significantly increase.
