    I’m just building a training project to start the transition to FCPX
    trying to delete an event and getting this message

    Background Task Running
    This action cannot be performed while background tasks are running. Try again when background tasks have finished processing or after canceling them.

    any thoughts ?

    thanks

    What was the issue? Maybe someone else on the Forum might need to know… 😉

    Andree – very rude of me – thanks for hitting me up for the answer –
    With the new architecture of FCPX – there is so much more background processing going on – from just importing clips to rendering – the 64bit platform gives you the ability to view things “real time” before the processing is actually complete – so it doesn’t like you to attempt to delete stuff that it is still working on – once the Background stuff had completed – I was able to delete the file that I wanted to.

    cheers
