Iv been running modul8 for about a year now on a quad-core mac pro tower. I did not build this tower but it ran great. Sadly though, someone jacked it from the theater i was working in. So now I have a new 8-core tower. I have 4 GB of ram and 3 HD Radeon 2600 graphics cards. Works great after iv been running it for a while but at first the video is super glitchy. Any Suggestions? I'm waiting on some more RAM but I fear it will not be here in time for an put coming show. Also I have a Black magic capture card. Iv messed with many settings and it has gotten better but im reaching out for some help. I think the lack of RAM is one of the problems, possibly the video cards to.

Open for anything

define glitchy.

does the playback stutter?
if so put all your clips on a seperate drive.

What are your memory settings?

Yes the play back dose shutter. The shutter seems to be worce when ran on an external drive so when Im running live or recording I have all working files on the Main drive.

My memory settings are 120MB Store if under and my max preload is 128MB with releasing when M8 uses more then 90% of memory.

I pulled out my Video cards and reconfigured the lane power, fired up the system, but Final cut would not work. So I went back to the old config and it worked perfectly.

I believe the previous poster meant use one of the other 3 possible internal drives for your media, not the startup drive. You will also have better speed if you RAID those internal drives.

I hope I am not putting words in the previous posters text field, but I am pretty sure that is what he meant.
