Farewell FCP7

Well, I’m sure it has something to do with why you had to purchase a third-party utility in order to keep FCPX from bogging down with all of your Events.

Firstly I didn’t have to buy one, I could have simply managed my projects manually so only a sensible amount of events are open. At least FCPX gives you the option to have unlimited events open if they had adopted the “one project at a time” that other software uses then it would be easier.

Do you use 7toX?
What should happen if you need to massage a timeline in FCP7 first?

[Craig Seeman] “Do you use 7toX?”

I have done for the projects I’ve had to convert

[Craig Seeman] “What should happen if you need to massage a timeline in FCP7 first?”

Haven’t had to do that in all the time I’ve been working with FCPX

I got on X early, and as a result I remember people on here talking about Events crashing.

I had not had that problem but it made me a little nervous so I started some habits to cover myself.

I’m working on a doc and instead of having an event for the doc itself, I started using the EB more like bins in old FC

so, each person in my doc has their own Event. I figured if one event crashed it wouldn’t bring down my whole doc and I would just reload that one person.

In their Event I have their sit down, their b-roll and their family pics and any articlse about them.

Then I tag that stuff from there. So I guess I’m using it like old school/new school.

The reason I bring up this workflow is because this has caused me to have almost 30 events with as many as 100 elements in each open at a time while I cut the doc. I could close some of those out but it hasn’t been a problem with them open yet and I kind of like seeing them all just a click away.

I’m only running an 8 core mac pro so it would seem like I would be a prefect candidate for the database to make may edit get sluggish.

It hasn’t yet.

I thought the article below was interesting, but I gotta see something break before I start fixing.

If stuff starts to mess up I will be on here complaining about it.

If it doesn’t, I guess I will say that to.
