Tried new user no help. Trashed MC state, site settings.avs, site settings xml and site attributes in the Avid MC settings folder. Still no joy finally trashed the project Settings.xml in the project folder and it seems to work better now. There seems to be a lag for about 3 or 4 seconds when I hit play when the sequence rolls it's stuttery for the first 3 to 5 seconds then pops into sync and stays that way. I found if I add filler at head and start with a 5 second preroll it plays solid. I'm on 2018.12.3 which supposedly fixed a memory leak but I still have to quit Avid link after booting computer or it continually grows in memory use according to Activity monitor.
I'm not sure if I've nailed it yet as sometimes in the past testing after playing a few times it gets worse also after a long render it gets worse. I am rerendering more of the sequence now and will see if it still plays solid after the initial 3 to 5 seconds.
It reminds me of the frame bumping of an old ECS-90 or other convergence editors where you adjusted the preroll bumps to minimize over correction during preroll. Of course back then I could see what was going on and now it's all some bit stream under the hood I can't tell what's going on.
It does seem like even though I've rendered an upper track safe color limit there are sections with a V2 submaster of up to 10 layers of clone/paint out effects that I've rendered the submaster effect before rendering the safe color limit and even though Avid only needs to play the one stream of rendered safe color limit render it might be tracking the underlying effect nest. Perhaps that adds to the load and contributes to the hiccupy playback. Just guessing out loud.

Also good advice. I haven't done the obvious stuff but worth a shot.

At the risk of being obvious, have you tried trashing the MCState?
That always seems to be the last thing I think of,
yet often fixes Avid when it misbehaves.

MarcelI guess I'm going to have to start a new drive and do a simple clean install to see if that plays nice. I tried back revving to 8_9_4 with no improvement. It seems like it's not a performance issue but something in hardware or software that is creating this.

It's only in 10 bit that it's wonky. I haven't seen this before but it's been a while since I ran it hard. I'm going to back rev just to see. The only tangible thing I've done is change my internal raid from a 3 drive strip to a 4 drive stripe but that should give better throughput. I'm getting 550ish MB/sec read.

Don't know why same Avid version plays fine at work but not at home. Maybe I should try disconnecting the expansion chassis? Don't know why that would interfere but you never know.

I'm eyeing the new cheesegrater, but may just jump back to windoze instead. For now, it's cheesegrater.
Sure glad I invested in the nVidia cards for resolve though. Ahhrrrggg!

In light of my recent ProResHQ performance issues in Avid this seems like a possible stop gap to prolong the viability of my trusty old cheese grater. Perhaps the new MacPro will be something I consider down the line but for now I have to make do with what I have.

This may be a bone head worry but in the past I've seen things like swapping the network card unlicense some software because it some how referenced something on the network card for part of the registration. If memory serves me moving pictures was one plug in prone to this. Maybe that's all a moot point but I'm curious if anyone has any experience with upgrading the cpu only on a workstation.

I'm on an Avid and Sapphire Dongle so those aren't likely to faulter but what about BCC etc... I'm probably overthinking this. Can someone talk me off this ones and zeros ledge? ;-)
