Red line on timeline after Braw footage has been imported to time line

[Sallen307]

After converting Braw footage and drag and dropped to time line I get choppy play back and a red line above my timeline. What can this be?

The red line is some internal Final Cut Pro developer tool - generally meaning there's some kind of frame-rate mismatch internally within Final Cut Pro.

Are your clips the same frame rate as your timeline?

As for choppy playback, what Decode Quality are you using?

Decode Quality allows you to select the decode quality of the BRAW files. There are two "special" options that you won't find in DaVinci Resolve, Automatic (HD) and Automatic (UltraHD). These options will automagically pick the best decode quality based on the HD or UltraHD delivery.

If you're working in a HD timeline, we recommend just using the Automatic (HD) option, then using the Force Full Quality option in the Final Cut Pro Inspector when you're ready to export or render at full quality.

However, if you're working with 8K or 12K BRAW, you might need a much lower decode quality for editing.

It's worth doing these speed tests to see if your system can actually handle BRAW:

Hope this helps!
