Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
FCPX is running very slowly, especially when running background rendeing/prerendering. This is very strange as I have the LATEST iMac with 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 and 16gb of RAM. I thought that maybe FCPX wasn't set to using all or most of my RAM howerver do not know how to check or change it? Does anyone know? Alternitivly does anyone know how to make FCPX run faster and render faster? Thansk very much!
Cheers,

First of all Final Cut Pro X is definitely not a professional programme! It is built for mainly the amateur market! :p It is AVCHD, 1920x1080p, at 24fps, using PAL, the Audio is at mono 48kHz.My project is set to the same setting apart from the render format which does not have an option for H.264. In the future I will used optimised media. Is there anything else I should be doing to improve the speed a stability of FCPX?
"PAL is 24 fps." DId you mean 25?
You can create optimaized any time, Right click the clip in the event browser and choose transcode.
Actually, the software is being used in pro environments, Here's one example.
Many more if you're interested.
PAL is also standard definition.
Do I have an option not to use PAL? I am In Australia, we don't use NTSC.
Maybe it is 25, I think it is yes!
PAL and NTSC are standard definition. If you're shooting and editing HD you're not using either.
Tom is correct.
However, I think what you mean is that you are in PAL "territory".
As such your AVCHD will by default be shot at 25fps whereas cameras in an NTSC region will shoot at 30fps.
Yes this is what I men't, sorry for the confusion!
How to get FCPX to use all my RAM?
