Q: 10.0.3 DISASTEROUS
System -
Fastest MCP one can buy (with extra 2.5gz processor model 8gb ram 1.7core) Lacie THUNDERBOLT drives. 10.7.3 OS.
10.0.2 ran "relatively" fine. NOTHING changed except upgrading to 10.0.3
Re-renders everything everytime I restart the program - Even though it rendered to 100% on last shutdown.
And when it is rendering - it does it SLOWER than the last version 10.0.2!
Playback stutters. Beach ball is more present than 10.0.2 !
Titling of previous projects is messed up - baslines and tracking are changed!
To test - I reinstalled the previous version 10.0.2 and reloaded in those previous projects. All runs smoothly.
Reinstalled the 10.0.3 again - EVERYTHING THE SAME - and same issues!
WHO CARES ABOUT ALL THE NEW "FEATURES" WHEN IT DESTROYS MONTHS OF PREVIOUS WORK, AND EVERYTHING IS EVEN SLOWER THAN BEFORE??? Its so frustrating to read reviews by magazines etc who do not lay down feature length, complex movies and only talk about all the "great new features" and how performance is "improved" simply because they read that it SHOULD be improved!
Well it isnt - its WORSE! Doesnt Apple actually test things before releasing it ? Where has the trust gone???
And I have the most pimped out (portable) system one can get. Pity on those with less endowed systems!
EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND ANGRY!

Just to let you know, yesterday I had a lengthy conversation with apple who advised Me against creating optimised media. Isnt that somehow contradictory? I Was also told that even if you turn off background rendering it is still doing all sorts of other background tasks and will not make the blindest bit of difference. I was also told that this software Is ahead of it's time and that we should in other words be appreciative of this fact. Yeah right! If they'd been fully tested before going to Market. If I gave a client a film/video that was not fit for purpose I'd either have a very unhappy client or a law suit on myhands... How are they allowed to get away with this rickety piece of cack. All I want is a solid editing platform that cuts through 1080p like a hot knife through butter. And to think everyone is creaming themselves over 4k. What a laugh!
I'm running a 3.4 i7 iMac 8gb ram, not that bad a machine, everything flys on it but as soon as I open fcpx (on it's own as it is a ram sponge) it turns into a useless piece of glass that I want to put my head through. That to me says there is a fault with the software. Now I'm no expert but hey that's why I bought Macs, Init!
