Jay,
Just to add my 2 cents, I had very similar problems to what you're describing, and it /was/ a failing drive. The scanning and polling took forever. Once it loaded all was fine, as you say. When the drive in question started unmounting itself from the computer, I unhooked it and suddenly all was zippy again.

John, I'll check the version of the AMA plug-in. I don't recall when that was added to my system.
Bogdan, I don't think it's crappy drives or crappy connection. Because once it's polled the drives (or whatever it's doing) it works fine. I can drag around the 90min timeline very fast. And when I play back it will real time render dissolves, split screens, titles, and subcaps. It won't realtime render Animatte comps or BBC or Magic Bullet effects.

Performance usually isn't as good as Avid media, but that sounds pretty extreme. What version of MC? Correct AMA plugin being used?
I don't know why this is still an issue. Linking to media files isn't this mystical amazing achievement....it's literally the way every other NLE "imports" media.

Ok, I hear about people using AMA all the time. I'm trying to finish a low budget feature. For offline they AMA the camera masters and transcoded to DNx36. Did the edit. And I've relinked to the camera masters via AMA. Technically it all works just fine. But damn, to load up the final long play takes like ~7>8 min or more. And then once I can actually move around the timeline lord forbid that I have to switch out of MC for any reason, because when I come back it takes another 10min for MC to rescan the drives with the camera masters on them. This is brutal. I mean it's just near impossible to get anything done because it's like MC is regularly having to confirm that the camera masters are where they are supposed to be. I can't believe that anyone actually works like this during their editing process.
It's about 9TB of camera masters across 2 Tbolt drives.
Camera masters are HD from a C300.
This last scan has gone on for over 15min.
There are times it's literally faster for me to force quit and relaunch MC and reload the sequence and redo whatever I've lost.
