still driving me nuts

Well, after watching a couple of videos the jargon (language) makes sense. While this new jargon is a bit silly, it makes sense. I have decided to go with the flow and go about editing.
Perhaps bringing someone in to watch a demonstration might help clear the air and end any confusion. I have since removed the pebble from my shoe. On to more important things.

[David Mathis] “I have since removed the pebble from my shoe. On to more important things.“
Your words in Maud’s ear that many will follow.

[David Roth Weiss] “let’s face it, whether you’re like Scientologist, or just a plain old Apple can do no wrong Fanboy, is there really enough difference between the two that we should be splitting hairs here?”
It’s a strong question, a good question, and a question only those involved can answer.
[James Culbertson] “Time to take personal responsibility and move on, or accept that you personally cannot or do not want to change.”
these here are the very words of faith. It is good faith, James’ own faith and a faith many might not accept, but he holds this faith in his heart. Some here might view this as a discussion of software – others might not. They may see a greater yardmark and a further enlightened shore. Let us open our eyes to their contact lenses but for a moment.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “[James Culbertson] “Time to take personal responsibility and move on, or accept that you personally cannot or do not want to change.”

Since I actually edit in FCPX everyday (and many weekends too) on tight deadline documentary-style corporate videos (amongst other things) working with teams of production and post-production folk, I would say that my words are those born out of empirical experience and are as real world based as any on this discussion board. (I was a neurobiologist in an early life and know the difference between empirical observation and religious faith.)
On the other hand, I think anyone who does not use FCPX (or only very infrequently) could be described as speaking out of faith when they talk about FCPX. Does that describe you Aindreas? Are you a member of the evangelical church of the Anti-FCPX? Nothing wrong with that; I fully support Freedom of Religion.

[James Culbertson] “Are you a member of the evangelical church of the Anti-FCPX?”
He’s not just a member, he’s the Pope of it!
-
Can anyone tell me what FCPX is doing all the time? After about an hour of editing, my external hard drive (which has all my media) starts rattling like crazy for 10-15 minutes or so, slowing the program down.(it does this a couple of times a day)
The background tasks window doesn’t show any activity, but the Activity Monitor tells me FCPX is very busy. Even when I stop doing anything on FCPX for a couple of minutes, the disc is hammering away, CPU activity by FCPX is way up…
It’s probably something that has been fixed in FCPX 10.2… but can anyone tell me what it’s doing and how I can stop it?
-
I can’t tell you what it’s doing exactly, but you have your library, media, and cache all on that external drive, right?
What kind of drive is it?
-
Some editors advised me to keep the library on my internal harddrive. Apparently that helps with the speed. But the rest is on a USB3 Western Digital 3T harddrive.
But I’ve had this issue with several variations (like library ON mediadisk) and several types of hard drives (like a 4T USB3 G-Raid). I obviously has to do a lot of stuff.
-
What computer are you cutting on? If you’re on a Mac Pro (pre-trashcan), then you don’t have USB3 so your drive will be USB2 only.
Unless you’re using a newer MacBook Pro or iMac?
Also, when you were complaining about Library size, I thought that meant that you were using managed media (clips stored in the library). Is that not the case?

I keep the library AND cache on my internal SSD, and then all the media on external drives.
It helps.
10.2 will help you too, but we’ve covered that.
