Please disregard the post, my mistake, used the wrong project settings

Thanks Devrim.

I’ve been using FC since I moved to Mac in 2007 and this was the first time this ever happened. After using common sense of 50 years in the biz, trying everything, I remembered that I did not restarted the computer (never did with previous updates), so I decided todo it. Guess what? It worked.

As I say (from my previous life being a Chemistry Professor), the Free Electrones around the outer orbits of the transition elements doing their thing!

The solution came from another forum: S-Cinetone, Picture Profile 11, I am back on track, I’ll reserve a spot for slog3 when I’d need a big dynamic range.

I finally discovered what the problem was, I did not install the right software so the system was working with the old drivers. I was fooled by the fact that Media Express (that never worked before on Mavericks) now was working on Yosemite.
Installed the proper one and now all works fine.
Like my dad used to say: “age is a vicious beast”
Thanks

Thanks Charlie but the problem is not Magic but FCPX in Yosemite. It might not give playback via Ministudio but it has to give A/V playback directly and it doesn’t, simply disabled.

OK, after playing with the camera, manual and internet, I found it out. It does not work with the 3X zoom but discovered another button that works.

I mean the button besides the camera lens that pops up the camera flash on photo mode…

So to your specific case:
– Where you experiencing problems at 16 GB or was it just that you saw a large page cache? What were the problems?

Problems here were when using FCPX and Lightroom at the same time, I am aware that Adobe is a shark eating beast, as well as FCPX when rendering on the background

Are you experiencing problems at 32 GB now or just seeing a large page cache?
For now just seeing a big amount on cache files. When I have a session with LR and FCP will do the comparison

– The caches files in ~/Library are completely different than RAM caches and are unrelated to the amount of memory in your system.

OK copied that

– The file cache at 70%-75% of your RAM is a *GOOD* thing. You want this as it will make your system faster in general.

– If you want to purge the file cache, you can use the “purge” command from the command line. Open Terminal and type “sudo purge”. This command is part of the OS and you don’t need any special applications to run it.

Got it
Will follow your advise and let’s see how it goes.
Thanks again
