final cut pro x 10.3.4 multicam not working

With proxies, it's of course totally smooth, with minimal CPU load. My CPU pegs at 100% and playback is very choppy. When I disable the HD4000 in BIOS, FCPX works fine with the 280x and is faster in many ways, but without quicksync I cannot play even 4 angles smoothly without proxies. If I close the angle viewer of course, performance is excellent.īased on advice here about AMD cards being great for FCPX, I swapped out the gt740 for a second-hand R9 280X trying to get some more GPU horsepower for stabilization, titles, EFX, and to improve rendering speed but FCPX crashes on start when I have both the AMD card and the Intel HD4000 enabled. Trying to use any heavy effects or complicated transitions bogs things down considerably. When playing, my CPU stays around 75% with all 8 threads utilized. I can put a couple color corrections on each angle in the Multicam clip without affecting playback. It's not totally smooth but it works well enough to edit and doesn't drop frames. With this system I can playback 6 angles in the multicam viewer using original media in 'better performance' mode. Gigabyte z77x-ud5h, 3770 CPU(non K), 32gb of ram, OS and source footage on SSD drives. For the last 2 years or so ,my GPUs are the combination of HD4000 and an Nvidia gt740. Source footage is various flavors of H264. I am editing Multicam projects in FCPX 10.3.3 in Sierra. I am in the same boat with FCPX edit machine. I believe that my BIOS graphics priority is set to auto, I'll have to check. But, when I boot this way, FCPX starts and works fine, and performance indicates that is is indeed using quicksync for h264 decoding. This means I see a black screen until the Sierra log-in window, if I need to get to the BIOS or clover I'll have to swap my cable over. This is my first post, I've learned a lot here and want to say thank you to everyone!ĮDIT: I got my HD4000 and 280x to work together with FCPX 10.3.3 finally! What worked for me was to connect my 2 monitors to the 2 DVI ports on the 280X and leave the HD4000 enabled but not connected. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
