    Has anyone run this on the Tube yet? If you find any results, please post a link or the results here.

    I’ve seen that 10.1 has trouble exporting BruceX to h.264. Alex has reported it to Apple and says he’s trying to find a workaround in the mean time. Export to Prores works though.

    I’ve run some tests on my two Macs for anyone who’s interested. FCPX 10.1 and Mavericks together offer a significant reduction in export times when compared to older software on the same hardware. I like it!

    ————–

    Mid 2010 MBP 6,1 2.66GHz dual core i7, 8GB. All are exported to Prores except where noted, in order to get comparable results since FCPX 10.1 can’t export BruceX to H.264.

    Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and FCPX 10.0.9—– 436
    (Export to H.264 on this system- 437)
    Mavericks 10.9.1 and FCPX 10.0.9——— 426
    Mavericks 10.9.1 and FCPX 10.1———– 368 (Importing the XML popped up a warning message stating that working with 4K or above is not recommended on this system. It only popped up in FCPX 10.1)

    ————–

    2008 Mac Pro 3,1 2.8GHz eight core, 16Gb, Radeon 5770. Export to h.264

    Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and FCPX 10.0.9—— 132
    Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and FCPX 10.0.9—— 132 (after working on the system all day, 7.39GB Page outs. 3.31GB Swap)

    Mavericks 10.9.1 and FCPX 10.1———– Coming Soon
