How do I open FCPX but turn off the auto loading of pre-existing events or projects?

How do I get FCPX to open without any preloaded projects or events?


I`m using FCPX on the Macpro Retina and now when try open the program, it keeps pre loading pre-existing events into the event library & the previous project gets loaded into the timeline with all the sound files and photos/video footage, which takes a few minutes each time I open FCPX.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1), 2.3Ghz, i7, 16GB ram, flash drive

so fcpx is assuming all systems can handle the growing number of open events (!!), so frustrating.


just like the youtube upload option assumes the internet connection never cuts out, with no resume function I had to start the whole upload again after 2hours of uploading. I ended up outputting to QT then using the youtube uploader which does resume unfinished uploads.


thanks for the link, i`ll have to get it. This software is seriously incomplete. Like how do I add effects now like in FCP7, their all gone but the basics. how do I select a piece of footage to do some effects on it via motion? is there a quick way ?


oh, BTW, will that plugin also prevent the previous project from loading in the time line?

As at the moment the last project starts loading all the footage and audio into the time line which is taking FCPX a few minutes to load each time (! aggh).


this current work around suggestion is going to make the most inefficient software idea list for 2012

this would mean your currently opened projects and events have to reload anyway 😟😠
