Robin, that was just something I briefly read about Yosemite being optimized for systems with SSD drives. That’s not so much an issue for me, moreso the software compatibility issues that could arise. I’ve been burned on that in the past with older updates and 3rd party programs that we are using in our daily workflow.
….then again, didn’t realize you need OS Mavericks or later to run it. blah. Unfortunately no time to test my 2009 Mac Pro with multiple non-SSD drives, fact-finding whether this app and that app will or won’t be compatible with it.
To be honest I hadn’t used FCPX much at all lately, and never saw any update notifications. I’ll get on it though, as that is a HUGE update for me. Thanks a ton for the links, I’ll follow those tutorials and make my life easier. Cheers!
I’ll try that, as I’m still on 10.0.9. I have projects scattered over multiple drives, so if I follow your method, I could move events and projects without using the “Move” option within FCPX?
Brilliant, that sound like it should do the trick. So when I import the selected/cropped PNG file into FCPX, should I make the single clip the entire time length of my whole timelapse? Or should I duplicate it and overlay it on each individual still?
That sounds like what I what to do, although I’m not sure how to “crop the still to the element I want to keep”. I’d need to make a very specific selection around the tree, as opposed to using the circle/rectangle masking selection tool in FCPX. Anyone know how I’d do that? Photoshop first?
