Expand postI've been working on Final Cut Pro for a while now and recently upgraded to Final Cut Pro X (10.1.3) at first it seemed fine but now I get pin wheeled for the first three to four minutes of opening the program. Then when I try a playback just to make sure it meshes it takes two or three times to play it without getting a "Files dropped" message. It all works out in the end but does anyone else have that problem?
Moved everything to a new drive and it works like a charm. Thanks for the tips!
Alle, I got stuck with having to upgrade to X because FCP stopped being able to export. I wish they hadn't done away with the Final Cut Studio, or at least bothered to listen to folks.

Expand commentIt makes logical sense that when Final Cut Studio 2 and it's upgrade to Final Cut Studio 3, from FCP 6 to 7, a minor upgrade of codecs and prorez, Apple was tempted to go down the route of another Final Cut Studio 4 route, make what was working, work on the newer operating systems. As Apple has explained, they could not get this working under Carbon, which I understand was 32Bit, Cocoa is 64bit. So when the brainwave of not having tracks, of junking the entire FCS2 system in favour of what we have now was hatched, sure as tomatoes are red, this idea was rejected, and many battles fought to see it brought to market.. Yes the initial launch was a PR disaster, yes people hated it, and in the period post the 10.0.0 launch, Apple did acknowledge that they should not have launched that version, which soon disappeared to be replaced with the 10.1 series!! I have not seen in any degree of significance the same level of output of tutorials, of plug ins as I see in FCP X. It is not an upgrade it is so not that, what it is is a revolution, it is a re-invention of how we consider editing, we are not in a era of tape anymore, we need to sort through the data quicker than we could in the past. Micheal Cincio of Lightiron says it so well, FCP X is a database with an NLE attached, where as Adobe and her ugly twin sister Avid are NLE with a sort of database attached. The way 10.1.2/10.1.3 treats data, with the vastly improving metadata handling, the subclipping, the multicam improvements, the audition methods, have sped up editing, with keywords and smart collections, and used/unused clip marking, makes mistakes far less apparent. Clip collisions, connected clips I can go on, the fact is, STOP THINKING FCPX IS AN UPGRADE!! IT IS NOT!!! Not for one second am I saying it is perfect, far far from it, it has serious flaws in how it handles data, proxy files are a bit of a handful, XML is improving, the sharing of projects spotty at best, but for in the field news editing, it is a beast. To be free from having to worry about track assignments, that alone is worth the price of entry in FCP X!!! Yes it is a sad day that Color/DVD Studio Pro and Livetype was binned, I have feedback paged so many times Apple writing a stand alone sandbox app that allows for the installing of stand alone apps in 32bit to work under 64bit, a lite version of Parallels, with Color/DVD Studio Pro/Sound Track Pro/Livetype... One thing that FCP X is missing is a logging tool to be installed on the ipad, the log and transfer window from Final Cut Studio springs to mind, this has the perfect layout, old as the hills, built and other things proof, 2nd 3rd and last assistant editor proof.. So simple any child can log for dad sitting on the couch with the ipad with ceebeebies playing on the 32inch ex imac!! Final Cut Studio served us well, it was old and tired, and the twin ugly sisters A and A still believe that the more than 1000 updates will make it as good and pretty as FCP X, sorry it is not going to happen....

Expand postHi everyone, I'm a NYC filmmaker, my company is Bridgeseeker Productions. My day job includes editing/shooting/producing (often as a one woman band) various projects, including online tech magazine videos, a real estate magazine TV show, corporate docs, and a WWII bio feature documentary. I'm currently polishing several narrative shorts which I'd like to direct, and I'm looking for trustworthy Producers who would be interested in developing them - from fundraising to post. Some subject matter involves bullying, the importance of imagination, and heroic children. I'm not opposed to shooting in Ireland, as well... Nice to meet you all!

I am willing to let the writer co direct the project with me. We will be working on a small budget, but there is a budget and and rented locations involved. I also have secured a few local rappers who have their own little buzzes going on, also we have tons of gear available to use on this project such as Kessler cranes,tracks and Dollys, a black magic 4k production camera,3 arri 650 watt tungstens and two 350 watt lights,zoom h4n audio recorder 2 ntg2 boom mics and on and on I usually use the gear for event work and music videos but I have been slowly trying to break into film.
Only problem is I am here and your are there where ever there is ! The point I wish to recommend is that all posters state where they are located so we don't get all excited about something we can't participate in ! Would love to get my hands on all that equipment !
you are right pagan sorry when I posted it asked me for my location generically, I thought it would be covered. I will make sure to include my location in the title on the next one
Hi Jonathan - sounds interesting - I'm NYC-based, writer and familiar with all your gear. Though writers don't give a crap about what gear you're using LOL Story first.
Thanks for connecting Jennifer
