What is FCP X doing when it spends 20 mins loading project library?
I'm just curious why it takes an 8-core Mac Pro with 24 gigs 20 minutes to load my library of projects. What, technically, is it doing and why does it have to do it repeatedly?
If it takes 20 minutes you must have hundreds of projects ........... unless there is something severely wrong with your computer of FCP X setup.
Normally it should launch in under a minute even when several projects are present.
If the slowness is caused by huge numbers of projects, you simply create 2 different folders for your Events and Projects and drag all the unwanted ones into them.

An excellent app for doing this automatically is Event Manager X ($5).
