Just migrated to new computer - background render numbers flying out of control. When we open backgroud tasks - nothing shows up. We edit for about 20 minutes, entire computer freezes. Contacted Apple support, re-installed FCP. Still happening. Anyone else have this problem or clues as to why this is happening?
Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
No idea but try these general FCP X trouble-shooting suggestions.
Use this free app to trash the preferences. This should be the first thing you do when any problems occur.

2. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3. Trash FCP X using this free app and reinstall it.

If these 3 measures don't work, create a new User Account (Admin) in System Preferences and try running FCP X from that as it sometimes works miracles.
Thanks! Finally found the gremlin that was at fault: there was one clip, short one, deep into the timeline that had an orange render bar and we couldn't get it to go disappear, despite various render requests. Once we deleted the clip, the issue was gone. We then took that clip (it was pro-res) trashed it, found the original, took it through compressor again, and this time it works. So there was a bug in that clip - not sure what it was. So far, no more crashes... yay
