[Bret Williams] “Did you try a new user yet? That seems to accomplish the same thing as a clean install. I forget, did you update to Mavericks at 10.0.9 or just recently with 10.1?
“Sorry Bret I have not had a chance, I got called into work today. I appreciate your help and tips though brother.
I did update to Mavericks and that seemed to go OK, then I updated to 10.1 after organizing my folders.
My snapshot projects seems to be still working fine now since I copied it to another drive.
I do like that snapshot feature BtW

[Jeremy Garchow] “This is also the first FCPX that has required a new OS before you could even install it.”
Good point J

[Bret Williams] “But I’m reading about a lot of spinning beach balls where people have just installed 10.1 and let FCP X upgrade their entire library of events and projects into one huge project.”
this is not what I did, and I didn’t really have problems updating my older projects.
What frustrated me enough to write this post was I was working on a new project.
New Library
New footage
New project
Nothing to “upgrade” So I don’t know what upgrading an old project has to do with my New project.
As I started working on the new project the edits were slow and laggy
I’m not saying that people didn’t do what you described I’m just saying that’s not what my specific problem was. (while I did link you to folks complaining about a different problem of lagging )
Started working again this morning on a snapshot project. It was spinning. Looked back at the project that I took the snapshot from and it played fine. hummmmmmmm
Quit X, copied the Library to another drive and so far both projects are fine.
Not sure why one project played fine and the other didn’t. They are using the same media.
I have been on X since the beginning and have never had a problem with updates in the past.
People are talking about clean installs and that’s great,
just saying………….I never bothered with a clean install in the past and never had a problem so if this update *requires* a clean install that would be a first for me.

Here are some folks talking about the same thing I was
“FCPX 10.1 Very slow on iMac and lots of spinning beach balls”

OK, thanks to Jeremy’s tip I turned off that App Nap and so far it’s running a lot better.
It seems crazy to me that could have had that much of an impact on the performance.

[Bret Williams] “Lots of issues with people screwing media management up”
Bret, wouldn’t this pertain more so to updated projects that you were brining over from the last version?
How could this explain a fresh new project started in 10.1?
-
[Jeremy Garchow] “Also, be sure App Nap is off.
Jeremy
“Thanks for this heads up also Jeremy

[Steve Connor] “Did you do a fresh install of FCPX? is the problem on new or upgraded projects? I had a similar issue on an upgrade install but it went away after a fresh one.
“I have had the problems on old projects and new ones. I’m gonna take your advice and try a fresh install.
Fabrizio is running the same machine I am and it’s smooth for him so I should be able to get the same results.

I did not. Just upgraded

Seems a little laggy to me also and I don’t have any multi cam clips to deal with.
