Hello, my footage stutters in fcpx. I don't think it's the SD card because I filmed several projects with it and the footage came out perfectly fine. Some footage stutter and some not while it's filmed with the same settings. It's very frustrating because FCPX itself also stutters A LOT. I tried to make proxy media but when I click "only proxy media" to edit with it doesn't work, the files are "missing". What to do?
MacBook Pro 13″
