Have you looking into audition clips instead?

Generally speaking apps will not be compatible out of the box without an update or a note from the developer that they are compatible. I would always recommend a cautious update to .0 OS releases…

I wouldn’t bother- you can use something like Chronosync or Carbon Copy Cloner instead and get a checksummed dupe.
No reason to actually check in FCPX if the data is ok. Not like you’re going to play every last clip and make sure they have no glitches….

Just place them into a 24p project. It’s all done in real-time. No need to lose a generation:

That was true with codecs such as DVCPROHD, which were not the long-GOP formats which are much more prevalent today. If you wanted to ingest a section of say a GoPro clip- you’d be de-compressing and recompressing and losing a generation of your already highly compressed footage before you even started editing.
That vs. copying the entire clip onto your drive and only losing a single generation when you go to export the final timeline which is what the FCPX import window does.
So it’s not really the import process that changed so much as it is the formats that are being ingested.

Or make a clip with timecode burnin and the music as the main storyline- make it easier to work with at than just pure sound. When you’re close to done- overwrite to the primary storyline.

I would never launch the backups unless something is wrong with the originals. You can use project snapshots for versioning/experiments.

What’s LiveType? You mean the old legacy app? No idea if it sees ProRes as a QT component considering its age.
