safe to update to 3

[Ron Hurtibise]

I’m using a 2010 Mac Pro with 16 G memory, Sierra, and two graphics cards: the supplied ATI Radeon and a NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for Mac. I updated to the latest available Quadro and CUDA. That didn’t work. Then I removed the Quadro (but not the drivers or CUDA) and it still kept crashing. I was thinking there might be a compatibility problem with the latest Sierra version and the Quadro drivers but when I’m not having any problem with these same projects on 10.2.3 with the same configuration and both cards

I’m back in business after finding this post

“This worked for me. Go to your Movies folder, right click on the library that won’t update and select “Show package contents”. Move this file to the trash: CurrentVersion.flexolibrary. Then, re-open FCPX 10.3 and go to File > Open Library > Other and direct it to the library in question. ”

Worked like a charm.

Oh well. Trashing all render files didn’t stop it from crashing after I load a previous project to the 10.3 timeline. Guess I’m going back to 10.2.3 until this gets fix\d

I haven’t attempted to upgrade yet myself, but maybe try removing one of the two video cards? I could see it getting confused there.

Thanks. I removed the Quadro (but not the drivers) but it still crashed. I’d hate to remove it permanently because it improves my Adobe CC performance and has no detrimental effect on FCPX 10.2.3

Did you try Tony’s suggestion above.

Mac Pro, macbook pro, Imacs (i7); Canon 5D Mark III/70D, Panasonic AG-HPX170/AG-HPX250P, Canon HV40, Sony Z7U/VX2000/PD170; FCP 6 certified; FCP X write professionally for a variety of media; teach video production in L.A.

[Ron Hurtibise]

Yes, I tried that last night. It didn’t work.

How are your finding rx 4 for removing unwanted b.g. noise? Will RX 5 work with FCP X 3?

RX5 works as far as I can tell (as well as Ozone 6); have not used it extensively. I have heard reports that RX4 no longer works, but I don not have it installed, so I cannot sure.

[Ron Hurtibise] “On the application forum, it was suggested that I also delete ALL (not just unused) render files.”

I’d delete the entire cache file, not just render.

If that doesn’t work, I’d remove any motion templates/plugins.
