May 11, 2012 6:48 AM in response to Mbinfinitevideoby Mbinfinitevideo,So I tried turning the skimming off. Although I loved having it turned on, as it wa saving me tons of time, 10.0.4 hasn't quit on me yet after 7 or 8 hours of editing. I had no problems skimmig before the update, but with the skimming turned off, it's been pretty stable.

May 11, 2012 7:04 AM in response to Mbinfinitevideoby Scot Walker,Yeah, with skimming off and the thumbs and waveforms turned off, it's more stable. It seems to me a lot of my crashes are caused by the hard drive not being able to keep up with FCP X. This would be why many people suggest using a bandaid event manager, IMHO. This would be why too many project files causes so many people problems as well. This would be why many people say any project over 20-30 minutes causes them lots of crashes so they break the bigger projects into multiple smaller projects.
I'm getting a screaming SSD PCI Express card with 480 gigs on Monday. I'm going to move my existing feature rough cut project to that drive and see if it helps. I'll report my findings on this board in a new thread.
This is what I got:

May 11, 2012 11:45 AM in response to Scot Walkerby Mbinfinitevideo,Nice!!! I wish I didn't need so much space. I would go for the solid state drives too. 480 gigs would only last me about a week or two tops, so those are out of the picture. I'm using 6 TB G-Raid, Raid 0 drives. They've been more than fast enough for everything pre 10.0.4. I'm using a firewire 800 now as the connection but maybe I should invest in an e-sata card. Let us know if the drive helps! Then at we'll know if faster connections could help as well.
By the way, I'm in the habbit of only keeping one project/event in the FCP folders at one time so that FCP only trys to search for that material.
Thanks,
Mike

May 20, 2012 6:44 AM in response to Mbinfinitevideoby Mbinfinitevideo,I updated to OS 10.7.4 one day last week on both systems. It seems like all my problems that started with the 10.0.4 FCP update magically dissapeared as soon as I updated the OS. Skimming has been turned back on for days and not a single crash on either system. THANK YOU APPLE!!!!!! Back on track editing away faster than ever!!! And with a really smooth external monitor display!

May 28, 2012 5:53 PM in response to Vedic Visionby Mbinfinitevideo,I have tons of event and projects. If you think final cut is looking for too many things, try this: What I do is make a seperate folder for each "project that I'm working on outsie of teh event and project folders that fcpx makes on it's own. . For example if I'm making a movie about windsurfing, I'll end up making a new event and project in FCPx and name them something like "windurf event", and "windsurf project". Then FCPX will automatically make an event folder and project folder with those two names. When I'm finished, or not using the footage from the event or working on that project, I'll move them outside the FCPX event and project folders to a folder I've named "windsurfing" myself, on the same drive, but outside of the event and project folders. FCPX only looks inside the event and project folders for anything to open in fcpx. So if you stay organized and move the unused stuff outside those 2 folders, FCPX will only open what you're currently workng on inside those 2 folders.

May 28, 2012 6:21 PM in response to Mbinfinitevideoby leefromnew haven,You are quite correct but Event Manager X ($4.99) from here

Will make this process a matter of clicking a box .... It should be built into FCPX... But I can't live without it

May 28, 2012 9:21 PM in response to Mbinfinitevideoby 導航旅鴿,For me, this:http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/fcp_x_managing_disk_image_martin.html
coupled with this: http://www.macworld.com/article/1058547/compactsparse.html
works so far (the latter helps to conserve space). There is always the need to revise a project, and in my case some events are continuously used in multiple projects.
