Corrupt media can also cause this behavior. Does that chang the behavior?Ĭorrupt media.

To resolve this Copy the structure of the card to a folder on an internal hard drive, then AMA link to it again. Many usb2 card readers (for p2 cards, or for dslr cards) are not tested for throughput, so that could be a cause. Also can you pen the activity montior and provide any insight into what if anythg is hogging the system?Īlso, it is possible that the media is on a device that is not fast enough to support it. Is the application manager open? If so, close it. Usually sluggish behavior occurs when their is either a timeout happening or the activity on the Mac is being tested. what kind of a graphics card do you have? I have no clue where to go now but I need to get there quick! Any help is much appreciated. That let me get to the end of my editing but now as I try ot export the show I get this errorĮxception: Failed to setup a sample provider! I read about using the PL key so I mapped that to my keyboard and it worked great! Or so I thought. It got to the point that if I had all 3 layers of video (Layer 1 - Main content/Layer 2 - Watermark/ Layer 3 fonts or graphics) MC would hang.

Everything seemed good and then it started to get sluggish again. I prerendered those as 1080 DNxHD files and replaced the footage.

I though the problem was from using some 4K DNxHR footage and flexing it down to 1080. Suddenly it got to the point where Media Composer would just hang and I would have to force quit. We are just starting a annual series I do and as I have been going through teh first episode I noticed AVid started to get very sluggish. I am at my wits end trying to finish a show and the clock is ticking.
