FCP X is Now Performing Magic

[T. Payton]

Agree about Lion, but I didn’t have any trouble with Snow Leopard with FCP X. One thing that I have heard from Apple is it best to start with a fresh system install with FCP to rule out any issues that might have been lingering with the system. A user account with corrupted items can always be problematic, and it is very difficult to identity the problem.

However, my whole time with Snow Leopard I haven’t had a problem with FCP X. Although I would vote for Lion also, my guess it is something up with your RAID that FCP X doesn’t like.

And if you go to Lion frankly you’ll get used to the grey icons on the side bar. It really bugged me to, but I just let it go. Now I see Apple’s point as it is a distraction visually with the colored icons 😉

Indeed my version of the Robin Hood game won’t run on Lion, which was really holding me back from getting FCP X running well. 😉

You and Bill make some good points. I have most of my apps in the doc now anyway.

I really never thought it was distracting.

In Itunes podcast were purple and if that’s what I wanted my eyes went right to that color.

Now I have to look a little more closely because they are all the same.

I should have control over how I want my folders to look. It’ my computer : )

As Bill said, they are testing on the newest stuff I’m sure so I need to get with it.

Caught someone for Wolfram & Hart running Mathematica from a remote location last night. I sent Angel out to take care of the “problem”. ;-p

Seems booting into 64 bit has solved the problems on this workstation.

The loss of project data sounds all to familiar. I had a similar experience as documented here:

https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/7667#7667

Apple contacted me and fetched some data although I never got any info regarding status of the issue.

However, only a few weeks after I contacted Apple I decided to upgrade to Lion, and since then (three months) I haven’t had any project data loss. I also completely reinstalled FCXP (trashed the software and then download a new copy from App store).

My system is a MacPro 12-core 2,66 GHz, 32 GB RAM and at that time Snow Leopard 10.6.8 was installed.

If Lion could be an alternative for your FCPX-computer then maybe it’s worth a try?

Best,
Petter

[shawn Bockoven] “. If we keep testing FCP X in a real working environment, I guess we will need a Time Machine drive on every computer??? FC 1-7 never did anything like this. If a project was corrupt, one could choose from many older versions from the autosave vault. “
