If you install your Avid editing application on a laptop computer, an Incompatible Power Scheme warning button might appear in the top right corner of the Capture tool. Avid recommends you disable reduced processor performance in the Energy Saver settings when working with Avid applications. Running at reduced speed might adversely affect performance of editing functions (for example, capture and digital cuts). For more information on disabling reduced processor performance, see the Macintosh documentation.

You might also see a message about disks spinning down while idle. Deselect "Hard Disk Sleep" in the Energy Saver settings for best system performance.
