Yes, but 10.2 is not an option for a few more weeks (or months) unfortunately.
Wow, so even the cache on internal hard drive. Hmmm… well, I won’t comment. 😉
-
I wonder if it’s OSX indexing… but that would mean FCX writes a lot of new files that need constant indexing from OSX… That would be extremely weird.

I have a trashcan MacPro, 6core, D700, 48GB RAM, only a few months old, WITH USB3. So I’m using USB3.
And no, I am not using media IN the library. Library on internal hard drive media, cache etc on external.
-
Some editors advised me to keep the library on my internal harddrive. Apparently that helps with the speed. But the rest is on a USB3 Western Digital 3T harddrive.
But I’ve had this issue with several variations (like library ON mediadisk) and several types of hard drives (like a 4T USB3 G-Raid). I obviously has to do a lot of stuff.

Can anyone tell me what FCPX is doing all the time? After about an hour of editing, my external hard drive (which has all my media) starts rattling like crazy for 10-15 minutes or so, slowing the program down.(it does this a couple of times a day)
The background tasks window doesn’t show any activity, but the Activity Monitor tells me FCPX is very busy. Even when I stop doing anything on FCPX for a couple of minutes, the disc is hammering away, CPU activity by FCPX is way up…
It’s probably something that has been fixed in FCPX 10.2… but can anyone tell me what it’s doing and how I can stop it?

Me neither… I still haven’t updated to the last Yosemite update…not all my software is supported yet…
So the same with FCPX 10.2… Just a little longer.

I wonder though: do you guys immediately update/upgrade when something comes out.
Most people I know, me included, wait a while. AJA and Black Magic drivers can suddenly not be functioning again (I’ve had that so I had to wait for an update), SAN systems may not naturally work with the set-up one has (like a SAN system still working on Mavericks).
To say things I run into with 10.1.4 are old and obsolete, if find tad weird… 10.2 has only been out for six weeks and has had its first update. I never update immediately… my entire system needs to work and updates for other equipment or drivers can only begin to be developed at the moment of release.

What tracks? 😉

Because with the projects (Two televisies series) I am doing, I have to go back and forth between my suite and The client’s. I have an editor who finalised each episode. Sometimes in my suite but he needs to sble to finish or continue at the client’s. It’s their set up that limits mine, but well… They pay the bills.

Of course I agree. That’s why I don’t get it why people get so condescending and annoyed. Especially in a thread where people discuss why vertaling things do or do not work for them.
If you can’t dislike things or see the shortcomings of stuff you like, then you are deluding yourself. I could rant about a lot of stuff in AVID, but at this stage I do prefer to use that one over FCPX. Overview, directness, mediamanagement… It just works well.
I just wonder now of 10.1.4 just doesn’t run smoothly because I run it under Yosemite… Because it was sluggish before the release of 10.2, and it still is.
