If I recall correctly, you can put the installer at the root level of a drive, reboot holding option, boot to the installer, and install the OS to any available drive/partition (getting around the older OS restriction).
-
Yes, after downloading and installing the OS from the App Store the installer is “cleaned up”. You can download the installer again then install it to the USB drive.
Not sure why the physical install disc won’t let you install SL to the USB drive. What happens when you try to open the installer? Are you using a Mac that shipped with a more recent OS than SL?

Are you wanting to create a USB stick with the three partitions for DW?
Or
An external drive with OS X and DW installed as a regular application?
I prefer the second method. Simply booting to the external drive and running DW is faster and simpler in my limited experience.

Since my camera cards are copied/archived to a dedicated external drive, I always want the files to be copied to my Media Drive when imported. Then I can eject the camera cards drive before starting to edit.
BUT, didn’t I read in a thread here that if you drag the clips from Finder directly into the Event that it will NOT copy the files? I couldn’t find the thread, I think it came up in an off topic disscussion. Maybe that was only for files that do not need to be rewrapped. Surely someone who actually knows can expand on that.
Oh, and don’t delete the original camera card backups. Those you keep forever, you can delete the imported clips when your done with the project. Then if you need to work with those clips again, FCPX can recreate the clips it needs by re-importing from the originals.

Yes, and they made it free because it no longer has a use. Except during the process of updating old projects and events, making it simple to choose which ones you want to update.

Thanks for sharing. The performance increase in 10.1 is impressive. These complainers blow my mind, it’s an update focusing on performance and the new Mac Pro, for X sake!
I posted some of my testing results this this thread- Anybody HAPPY?
On my slower, older systems a free performance increase is more useful to me than a scrolling timeline or whatever.
Have you done Alex4D’s benchmark “BruceX”? I’d be interested in your results (even though FCPX 10.1 won’t export it to h.264, I went ahead and did it to Prores just to get some numbers). I posted my results in the thread below and asked for others results. Nobody is interested in these things I guess… https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/26062

At first I thought he had a Tube already!

Oh, yeah I mentioned it earlier in the thread. It’s worked for me in the past. Enhance, sync, disable enhancements.
-
For sure, I have fun with it. I don’t doubt that it’s just X having trouble with the audio and not your fault, there really isn’t all that much to it. Makes sense that Plural Eyes could be a better sync solution for what you need to do, being that it’s a dedicated app purpose built for syncing.
Out of curiosity, did you ever try letting FCPX enhance the audio before attempting to sync?
-
That’s awesome. Glad you got a workflow that does what you need figured out.
Now, I wonder how well FCPX 10.1 syncs… ; )
