I ran into the “not enough disk space” problem when trying to create optimized media for multiple events containing a lot of clips. When I optimize small chunks of data, the same job (i.e. optimizing many clips) is done without the disk problem, although it is taking an amazing amount of time to complete. It looks like FCPX cannot handle large amounts of data unattended. A pity, because these are typically things you could do overnight.

Brilliant. Thanks very much

Hi,
It’s been a long time since you posted this issue and the reason I am reacting on it now is I am having the same problem in FCPX 10.1.4 as you did. My original footage is MTS and the audio sounds fine. It is only after importing it into FCPX random clicks occur. When I import the same footage into iMovie there is no problem. So the issue is definitively in FCPX>
I wonder, did you ever find a solution for it ?

Shift-V does the trick for me. And then, when reaching the end of the canvas I can just swipe the mouse to pan the image and I can continue the bezier.
In my case zooming out until the image is completely visible is impossible, because I’d rather need to zoom in to get the right level of detail to allow drawing the bezier over the road on the map.Thanks, guys, for your help.

Thanks again, Andy. That trick indeed gives me the hand tool, but it does not what I want. Instead of panning the image + bezier, it just pans the canvas cutting of the image at the canvas size.
I ultimately did what I wanted by drawing a rough bezier on the first part of the image, then pan the group (image + bezier) to the right, edit the last point of the bezier, extending it as far as possible and repeat that process until the end of the image. Then pan back to the start and keep adding and moving points to the bezier to correctly position them. At the end of the process keyframe the motion of the image so it will follow the moving bezier. -
Thanks for the respons, Andy. Unfortunately that does not work.
Which of the videos in your link is helping on this issue ?Thanks

This is just to share some experience with externally managed files.
The principal is working fine, but I am running into serious performance problems when using AVCHD video (MTS files). FCPX will apparently read all the footage over and over again when events are browsed or when the library level is selected instead of an event in that library. I have my HD footage organized in a single library using links to the actual files. Over time, the number of events in that library will grow and so will the time needed to select all footage in the library. (This may be necessary if I want to select footage based on a keyword selection). It will now take minutes before FCPX has processed all events. Also editing from a single event will take ages. So you will have to make a trade off between bad performance/limited space requirements on one hand (with externally managed files) and reasonable performance but a huge space requirement on the other hand (with native library footage)

Oliver, as soon as you work with lots of events, you definitely need a way to search all of them for certain keywords. Keyword collections only exist at the event level and NOT at the library level. If you have only one or maybe even 5 events, you can expand the events and show the kw-collections but with any serious amount of events this is not gonna work.
I agree (smart) keyword collections should exist at the library level

When I import tapes from my HDV tape camera, the recording date is shifted 2 hours, both in the name and the actual date. I have not found anything in the preferences or so that is related to this. Is there a setting in FCPX to prevent this or is this just another bug ?

When FCPX is running for some time, it will start using more and more CPU as well, even if all background tasks are killed. Restarting it will temporarily “solve” this.
