Q: FCPX 4K Crashes, how to AVOID?
Please someone tell me what size of the FCPX 4K project I can have and what limitation should I look for without CRASHES?
Ever since I started my 4K editing, my computer crashed all the time. I asked FCPX support and was advised to use it until it died. So the day came. I took my dead computer to Apple Store. They replaced the logic board which cost me $595.15 only to take home with the same problem. Second time they wiped the whole hard drive out, clean installed OS and all apps, only for me to have worse crashes. The third time they did extensive hardware test but no problem was found. I suggested that they SHARE my FCPX project to master file and this time they saw the crash with their own eyes. At this point they thought that FCPX was not able to handle my project.
I will have the logic board replaced again. I am sick and tired of the crashes. This time I am willing to start a new project with smaller size. But please some one tell me what exactly the LIMITATION and SIZE my FCPX project can have WITHOUT CRASHES?
I was asked that why I want 4K videos? Because I have this beautiful 4K smart TV that I can copy my picture slide show file so far as large as over 9GB on USB drive and play back smoothly on 4K TV with stunning pictures! That is why.
PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO WITH FCPX FOR 4K EDITING WITHOUT CRASHES?
You help will greatly be appreciated!
