I have had no problems with lag and stutter since I did that with the plug in. Preferences -> Playback. I would like to know if it helps for others. Yeah I turned it off, but it was still an issue anytime I played the clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, ok, thanks for letting me know. The OP's query is still valid as to the benefits of stand alone FC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a powerful computer it probably won't be an issue, probably? When this happens, do you have other "operations" - (does that make sense?) - waiting for rendering? And do you use 4K footage in a 1080 project/timeline? In such scenarios I sometimes run into these playback issues. If nothing - or not too much - are waiting to render, the FC plugin usually plays back ok for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yes, I usually have other clips waiting to render. No, I do not use 4K clips in a 1080p timeline, I convert my 4K clips to 1080p proresLT before I bring them into FCPX. The Color Finale clips play fine, but if I have a clip that has Film Convert on it, that clip will stutter during playback, even with rendering turned off.
