Disabling background applications and
defragmenting your hard drives
Applications that run in the background use system resources and can affect performance
when editing using Final Cut Pro with Matrox RTMac, such as causing dropped frames
during playback. As well, an overly fragmented hard drive can similarly affect performance.
To avoid potential problems with system performance, we suggest you do some or all of the
following:
1
Disable AppleTalk. From the Apple menu, choose
Network
selected.
Disable sharing. From the Apple menu, choose

Sharing
editing.
3
Disable the network time server feature. From the Apple menu, choose
