Urgent problem with playback

Ok I have trashed prefs changed the keyboard. The storyline plays fine when i hit the space bar however if i select a clip from the event browser it wont playback, it will skim but wont play. I have checked the keyboard map and its set to defult Any ideas please?

I have changed nothing before it started the Imac did crash!

Do I need to uninstall? and reinstall

UPDATE:

Created a new user and its fine! Really dont want to go down this route, everything is set up its taken me 2 years to get her where I want her!

'Revert to original layout' can sometimes cure this.

Even re-installed X and still as bad but under a new user its fine

Try this: turn on Event Viewer under the Window menu.

Are you using 2 screens?

I had this with my MacBook Pro last week and I cured it (I think) by pulling the Event Browser back onto the main screen and quitting and re-starting FCP. Can't remember if I re-booted the machine as well so it might be wise to go the whole hog.

Once I got everything playing again I started using the second screen and everything was fine.

Good luck.

You are a star, sorry I didn't reply sooner been real busy.

Dragged the windows back to the main screen and then back out and all back to normal.

Again

Thanks

I found when there's a lot of connected clips, the playback delay and unsmooth timeline control happen.
With a 40mins TV project, the timeline can easily have more than 1600 connected clips.
We always have 8 audio channels, each channel is one file.
So every clip has 8 connected clips without any cut,
and we've developed a software for automatically combining these channels to 1 file.
