    Ugh! I have a library that if I select one of the 3 events in the browser I get the beachball. Does not happen with the other two events. Also happens if I click on the Library itself.
    Any thoughts?

    What’s in the event? That can happen with corrupted media or something heavily processor intensive such as H.264 archives. or media stored across a network drive or shared out to Dropbox.

    Nothing but footage, 2 folders to organize that footage, and then keyword collections below that.

    Indeed- but please re-read my question. What sort of footage precisely and on what drive is it stored?

    well, so I was hacking around and took out some footage that had been unlinked and all is well again.
    Now FCPX was fine for several days with these files being unlinked but then yesterday started the beachball. So I guess something in there went south, weird.
    Noah Thanks for looking into this! Sorry for the fire drill.

    This is the first time in 2 years Ive had FCPX turn unresponsive (get a spinning beachball)
