New FCPX Update just released

Yay- I highly recommend everyone back up your copy of FCPX before updating from the Mac App Store. And better to not do this in the middle of a major project. Here's how to back up before updating:

Any feedback, yet, on this update?

Have to generate proxies again because they are not found by 10.0.7

Background Porcesses are now much better implemented.

After the update I can Import foorage from a Card and / or Hard Drive and imediately start renaming clips! I can also Move Events .... and similarlly edit names on the desination drive instantly. No waiting until Background Operations have finished!! For me this is immense.

Don't know what other improvements there are .... but it feels snappy on my machine.

As usual be careful of updating with Projects that are partially finished. Copy all your Enents and Projects that you might need to open in the older version if you need to roll back.

Back up your old App version too .... just copy the whole older FCP X object to a backup location. You can put it back if you need to

Also in some cases updates dont affect Items created in older versions even after they are 'converted' to be compatible with the new version.... so benefits only show up on new material.

I'm in between projects. I'm gonna make the plunge! (May have to "sweeten" old projects. But I'm gonna go for it. I've backed up 10.0.6 if I run into trouble.) Here goes...

The updated FCP X didn't ask for any re-hashing of existing Projects and all seems fine.

I noticed it was an incremental updte of only about 120 Mb rather than the usual 1.2 gig.

I updated from the App store and it was the full file of 1.2 gig. Curious how you only got 120 Mb?

I usually look and that's what it said, it only took an appropriate amount of time to get the smallish update.

Other than that I don't know?????

Al

I too am only having to download the 126 MB update...

Perhaps you did not go from 10.0.6 to 10.0.7 but from an earlier version ?

Nope went from 10.0.6. It downloaded the whole 1.16 Gig and took 7 min. Another strange App store occurence. I downloaded about 3pm pacific time. Wonder if they didn't have the short version posted yet?

I tried to do other tasks like copying,. moving etc but I still get the message I can't while background task is running...

Wow so fast 10.0.7 is out. Kudos !

On my Mac Pro DT the update was 126MB. On my MacBook Air I started the download at home and saw it was downloading the 1.16GB version. The connection at the time was so slow I stopped it after a while. At work the next morning I connected the same MBA to our wireless at work and this time it downloaded the 126MB update. This would suggest a bug with the App store update.

Do you know if with this version of Final Cut Pro has been corrected the bugs with the third party video plugin's like Magic Bullet Look or Neat Video?

Thanks.

MB and Neat, no
