Play
➤ You might experience dropped frames when playing back XDCAM media with effects.
When playing back media, a number of variables affect play performance; such as your CPU
power, GPU power, sequence complexity and the raster settings.
➤ (MacBook Pro) After an initial launch of the editing application when attached to a Mojo,
you might receive an “Assertion failed” error when playing back an HD sequence.
Workaround: Switch the project to NTSC or PAL.
➤ You might experience a slight delay at the start of play when Output to DV Device is enabled
with progressive projects.
➤ It is possible on certain slower machines, when playing in MultiCamera mode, you might
notice one or more cameras or the line-cut stutter a few seconds into the sequence. This
happens most often when displaying the MultiCamera composite or line-cut to the client
monitor on these older, slower systems. To help improve performance, Avid has provided a
console command which allows you to pre-render more frames. This will slow down the
start of play, but improve the overall playback performance.To increase the number of
pre-render frames:
Perform the following:
1. Open the Console window by selecting Tools > Console.
2. In the Console command line, type the following command followed by the number of
frames you want to prerender:
multicampreload 20
3. Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh). The value is saved. You do not need to
reenter the command when you relaunch the editing application. To restore the default
value, enter the command with no value.
➤ When you scrub a clip with “Fast Scrub” on, you might notice that when you stop scrubbing,
the video may continue to play in the record monitor. This might be more noticeable in HD
projects or when you are working on shared storage. Fast scrub actually has a number of
frames in flight while you drag the blue bar. The in process frames continue to play once you
stop scrubbing.
➤ (Mojo DX) Currently, if you open a 24p PAL, 25p PAL or 720p 50 project and load a clip
into the timeline and then play the clip, you may see frames drop.
Workaround: Set your project to an HD project type and then back to your 24p or 25p
project. You only have to do this once per session.
