FCP X features or lack thereof. Your opinion on the rationale.

Just choose the drive or the entire encompassing folder, couldn’t be easier.

That’s what I do and it is insanely slow compared with Premiere. Within the encompassing folder will be numerous subfolders – especially in the case of cameras like the C300. FCPX has to first search through all of those folders to find the right match. Takes a lot longer than it should if you have hundreds of files.

I don’t find it to be that crazy, I guess, as FCPX does a verification and then relink. Maybe it depends on the drive speed as FCPX has to create new aliases, but I don’t find it to be too terrible.

But in comparison to Premiere, it’s embarrassingly slow. Not to mention no feedback to the user. Just a spinning beach ball.

You don’t get a dialog box with a progress bar? I do.

Nope. This is on Sierra. Media is on a Thunderbolt-connected Promise RAID.

command-9 doesn’t give you progress in sierra? I’m debating updating to sierra. What’s your advice there?

No benefits that I can see. I recently upgraded my own two machines – a 2010 tower and a 2015 MBP. The newer machine has been fine. The tower has been largely fine, but a number of functions are slower. No issues related to editing though.

Did you just let the app store do its thing or did you do a clean install?

No idea how fast PPro is, but I recently had to reconnect over 800 clips of a library and that took maybe 20 secs at best. And yes, with various subfolders, including a bunch of those convoluted RED folders.

Unless of course you need MXF wrapped ProRes.
