I tested it one time playing videos for about an hour and randomly the videos would either freeze or get choppy during playback.
It also happened with Serato Video as I wanted to know if it was OSX, ME or just me doing something wrong.
My videos are on an external SSD getting around 350mb/s Read/Write speeds.
I kept adjusting settings like the output quality, cache settings, etc... nothing fixed it.

OSX Monterey12.4

Apple M1 Pro
Pioneer DJM-S9 mixer
Going to do more testing to see if it works itself out. In my experience, nothing like this just "works itself out."
Any suggestions or ideas on how to get playback to be smooth?
