Re: [Avid-L2] ASpringBuffer TIMEOUT error

Well, the Springbuffer is a cache that the system uses to prepare composited
unrendered frames before playback. Seems odd that you can play a problem
clip by itself but not from earlier in the sequence. Do you get a coloured
line in the Timeline? What playback quality? Could be disk access - lots of
rapid cuts?
