Why is FCPX so fragile?

[Charlie Austin]

[Michael Hadley] “That said, I think the FX folks would do themselves a favor by not loading a jillion effects as the default but giving the user the option in the first place.”

Agreed. It’s not inherently a bad app, but the default should be to *not* load all the trial stuff…

I’ve tried deleting them, but FX Factory re-creates them the next time FCPX starts up. Just disable the effects as Bret suggests above.

Here’s the tutorial that shows how to enable/disable products:

You can also disable all trials at once by selecting Disable Trial Products in the Actions menu of the FxFactory application.

So, in sum – you made 5 public posts all under the banner headline promoting your snap contention that FCP-X is ” fragile” when in fact, the problem wasn’t X at all, but a third party package that Apple had nothing to do with.

Dear me, the sky is falling.

Bill, you really are a dick.

[Andy Mees]

Don’t worry about it Julian, it’s not personal. This is the FCP X love/hate forum where neither potentially negative nor potentially positive FCP X posts/threads are allowed to go uncontested … even if they’ve already worked themselves out. 😉

Edit … actaully I’m mistaken! This isn’t that forum at all. Still ….

[Bill Davis]

Perhaps. But I’m also a dick who’s learned that what I post in public matters. It LASTS. So I at least TRY to be accurate. And when I get things wrong, I correct them just as publically as my original misinformation.

If that me a dick, so be it. It’s also probably a large part of why I was offered a Press Pass to NAB for the first time this year. Caring about accuracy in public writing actually matters to some folk.

FWIW.

You guys really need a video for this? We operate computer software for a living! It always seemed about as obvious as it gets to me.

[Bret Williams]

Damn Julian you owe me a cup of coffee. And who is gonna clean my computer screen?

[Steve Connor]

Can we try not bring the “other” forum’s behaviours over to this one if possible please?, “Dad’s” already had to clean up that one up

There’s nothing we can’t argue about on the FCPX COW Forum
