Maybe a pre-existing corrupt render file? I’d try getting FCPX to delete all render files and try again.

Assuming you are creating MP4s for web streaming, Handbrake prior to version 0.9.6 let you specify the target file size.

I’ve been running Mavericks for a few weeks now and there’s been absolutely no change in the way the spacebar quicklook shortcut works for me. Are you sure the MP4 files are actually in a codec Quicklook can display?

The short answer would be no. FCPX fails miserably at relinking where there is any change to the files.
My first thought would be that if you duplicated your editor’s setup rather than having him duplicate yours, you should be able to use the work he’s done so far. As long as you have the same media in the same place on both drives, FCPX should be happy.

It’ll get even more interesting with OS X Mavericks as I believe the new OS sees your Thunderbolt port(s) as fully fledged network interfaces.

Yes, it works quite well. I’ve been running an older Mac Pro as an NFS server with FCPX for a few months now. I’m not in a situation where I need multi-user access to the share so I’m not sure how NFS stands up in that area but it’s definitely a way to mount media and other assets on the network.
Mountain Lion (and I’ll assume Mavericks) don’t have NFS management tools built in so I’d recommend NFS Manager, available from https://www.bresink.com/osx/NFSManager.html

That’s a bit like saying OSX 10.9 should be free because they didn’t call it OS 11. And $299 is already half the price of an FCP classic upgrade.
The initial purchase price is lower but with the trade-off that a next version release is a new purchase. Fair enough. My initial $299 investment in FCPX has paid for itself hundreds of times over and I’m fairly certain the same will happen with 10.1 whatever it costs.
I guess we’ll see soon enough if 10.1 has enough features to make it worthy of an upgrade fee.

It’s been a while since I actually bothered to read an EULA but I’m fairly sure that part of it is that in return for getting an upgrade price on the next version you agreed to not resell your current copy. So technically, you’ve never had the option o selling your boxed versions.

At the end of the day Apple are in the hardware business. They provide FCP because it fits the creative demographic they tend towards and because it only runs on OSX and locks you into the hardware. Apple will have no issue at all with a new version of FCPX requiring you to upgrade your computer to use it. I’m sure they’d prefer it.
As a result any and all ideas in this thread a very possible, just some more likely than others. Apple make the rules as far as the App Store goes so they can pretty much do whatever they want with the pricing, upgrading, etc.
I can’t see any reason that a new Mac Pro might not come with FCPX & Motion pre-installed if they want to give it away as a bonus.
There’s also no reason they can’t look at your App Store account and have the store show you a cheaper discount price for the new version if you already own the current version.
I guess we’ll see in a week or three 🙂

Can we get a screen shot of the problem area? I have no idea what an ‘old Skype’ looks like 🙂
