Hoping someone can help me out with a really weird problem I've been having. I am getting a lag/delay in my Source Monitor after I drop a clip into my timeline.
Some background; I'm using an M2 Macbook Pro with plenty of power, and editing off SSD's. I have zero performance issues or any sort of skipped frames or other lagging when I'm playing back footage / editing. I can edit 6k full res with no issues. (I'm mostly editing RED footage). BUT, when I'm pulling selects and bouncing between the source monitor and timeline there is a delay for playback to start again / for me to be able to scrub through the clip in the source monitor. I drop the selection I made in the timeline, then I go back to the clip in the source monitor and its frozen for 3-5 seconds, can't scrub, can't hit play, etc. Then it starts to play and there's zero issues, I can scrub through, play, etc as much as I want with zero delays, until I drop another section of the clip into my timeline. Then the same issue repeats.
It feels like some sort of UI issue. It's like my source monitor is going to sleep every time I drop a clip into my sequence / play anything back in the program monitor, and then it has to 'wake up' every time I go back to it.
I have 'put hard disks to sleep when possible' turned off on my mac and that hasn't seemed to help, and I don't think drives going to sleep is the issue because it happens EVERY TIME even if I'm only in the program monitor for just a second.
This happens when I'm editing soley on my mac as well as when I'm using dual monitors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
