FCPX is sooo sloooowwww !!!!
Hello everyone,
I have a quad core 15" Mac Book Pro with 500gb HDD and *gb RAM.(Bought it last April)
I bought FCPX, Motion 5 and Compressor.
i quickly figured out that if you want to make videos that are full HD at 60 fps, to expect life to move very slowly.
So I reduced the resolution - but even at 1280 x 720 x 30fps my machine just chugs with the beach ball of death sitting there for minutes on end every time i click in my project to move a single clip. Surely this was meant to be a fast computer and the software said in all the previews that it was fast to work work - sorry guys, not happenin ghere.
Any tips for speedin up the performance of this beastie ??
(Moption 5 and Compressor seem ok - I repeat - my 2m:13s clip using Quick Time Animation in comresoor made an 8Gb file.... took a loooooooong time... ie: 12 hours to render and export....) 😮
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Regards,
Craig
