FCPX horrendously slow to import clips or XML

[Mathew Farrell]

Thanks again Joe.

Yup, that was Larry Jordan. We get similar advice for Lightroom libraries, although for obvious reasons the file count is a lot higher (quarter or half a million frames, if I remember correctly?) I suspect the database architecture works quite differently. In fact, if video playback wasn’t horrendous, I’d use Lightroom for all my media management, then kick out selections to Premy, Resolve or FCPX if it grabs me.

And to be clear, I was ‘easily’ able to relink to my rewrappered files, but I could only link one at a time – FCPX was clearly content that it was “the same”, but it seems to me it couldn’t automatically line them up due to the file extension.
