Stupid question time: Does anyone have know whether Shake will run under Yosemite?

Did they do a clean install, from the ground up or did they install Yosemite on top of Mavericks?

It is a pain, but find doing a clean install can avoid lots of problems later on.

[Eric Santiago] “LOL! Im from the future 🙂
No got mixed up with Avid MC 7.0.4. again.

Too many crayons not enough play time :(“

I have caught myself wanting to say Motion X and Compressor X 🙂

Wondering why Apple jumped from version 7 to X — 10 but kept Motion and Compressor versions in number sequence. Is it because 10 is scared of 7 because 7 8 9? LOL, just had throw that corny joke in there.

[Andrew Kimery] “How strange that someone from a company that makes an NLE would keep an eye on a forum where people discuss NLEs…”

Very interesting . . .

No beach balling here in FCP X but that evil little gremlin shows up when I launch Motion. After 5 or 10 seconds Motion works just fine, until then I just twiddle my thumbs. I wonder if this has to do anything with a specific version of Mavericks. Right after I ran the last update, a new version of Safari was listed. Curious . . .

[Eric Santiago] “With FCPX 10.1.4”

??? I have not seen that update yet.

[Mark Morache] “Just now, my laptop started heating up, and the fans kicked in, and activity monitor told me that FCPX was using 110% of my dual core. So I look to see that there’s nothing running in the background processes – cmd 9 showed me nothing going on. I close the app and I get a warning that it’s stopping the background tasks.

What background tasks?”

I am getting the same message. Nothing showing up in the list, either.
Occasionally there is a message that FCP X unexpectedly quit due to a Red Giant Universe plug-in, which was not used in the project. Sometimes the message pops up after quitting out of X, which never crashed to begin with. I wonder if it is possible that a plug-in could be responsible for X saying it is cancelling some background task.

Just a guess here, perhaps the next update will address this phantom background task issue.

Oliver,

Is it possible to migrate keywords from Resolve into FCP X?

Thanks,
