cancel background media management
hello,
does anybody know how to cancel a media management task in FCPX once it has started running in the background? i dragged an event to the wrong drive and had to wait until it finished copying before i could copy it to the right drive.
thanks!

Click the meter in the dashboard to open the background tasks HUD. You can pause or cancel tasks there.
All the best,
Tom

Thanks Tom. I forgot to mention that i tried that. the only option available in the background tasks manager was to ‘pause’. The ‘X’ that represents ‘cancel’ would not show up.

If you REALLY want to stop it, you can force quit FCP X. Option click on the App in the dock, or try command-option-escape. It shouldn’t have any bad affects if you are simply duping media.

I noticed that a few times also. To get around it, I have paused the task and go on with my work. Not sure if it would let you re-copy the media elsewhere while it’s paused from copying the same media though. A while later, the X to terminate sometimes comes back on and is then selectable. Restarting FCPX seems to work.
