Background processes are an impediment to starting the edit

[Bill Davis] “Is that clearer? “
Well, I understand the answer, but I’m not sure your analogy of ‘pools’ is really very accurate. For example “leave in place”. But, I’ll just let it drop, because I don’t think we are getting anywhere. Essentially I got the answer before – don’t use any of the analyze section in the import menu and turn off waveform displays. Then cancel out background processes if you want to start editing right away. But thank you for taking the effort to spell out your thought process on the matter. I appreciate it.

No problem.
I kinda formulated the “pools” metaphor as a reaction to explaining the X proxy workflow back when it was introduced at the X debut in 2011.
Talking about the “instant switch” from optimized to proxy and back – seemed to make the most sense by describing entirely identical “pools” of content – each in a different compression/codec – and when you switched between them, all the software does is swap the footage pointers between the structurally identical pools.
It seemed to help people make sense of why it worked like it did.
FWIW.

I believe we are now talking about totally separate things. You want this forum to be FCPX Evangelism & Praise. Typically, that is not the service Creative Cow users provide.
Creative Cow is direct user to user help line. It is free, it is come as you are, there’s no secret decoder ring, there’s no special knock, there’s no red velvet rope. All are welcome to share and compare experiences, good, bad, or indifferent. But instead you seem to want to complain about the caliber(?) of posts in this debate forum? Or that Facebook attracts a different audience?
[Bill Davis] “actually most of the ones I spend most of my time in nowadays attract FAR, far, far more professional editors interested in X than typically appear here. “
Again the condescension. Honestly, Bill, take it elsewhere. I don’t know what a FAR far far more professional editor is and how they differ from the people that show up here. What does a FAR far far more prefessional editor do that we don’t do in terms of editing for a living? Sure, theres editors whose work is more public facing, or who work on big budget movies, or work on some really cool and creative projects, but I don’t think it relates to how professional they are, and if you look at who posts here and what they do, you may find there is top tier work that happening here too. So, if the professionalism isn’t enough for you here, please stop telling us there are better places to go.

I was assuming he meant more, as in amount of.

Ah. Yes.
Of course! ☺

OK – got it.
You do NOT want this forum to be about FCP X Evangelism and Praise.
And I am the central problem.
Duly noted.
