New Macbook pro: Favor cpu or gpu for best performance in FCPX?
Hi all, I'm on the brink of buying a new Macbook pro 15" 2016, and I'm trying to decide which configuration will work best for performance in FCPX.

My new setup is coming and I need input
Hello!! I have been a video editor for many years, most of them without my own machine.

Dual R9 390x 8GB or Dual RX 480 8GB for FCPX?
If powering any of the dual cards isn't an issue (planning to externally power them,) which pair would be better suited for fcpx? With prices of used 390x going pretty low around my area, I can buy two of them cheaper than what i've bought 2 rx 480 8GB for. Im currently running dual rx 480 on my... -

Final Cut Pro 10.3 breaking old projects?
I've updated my library to 10.3 (as prompted by FCPX when updating) and now one of my old projects has tons of missing clips and such.

Hey guys, I've been thinking about getting a used Mac Pro. I could hackintosh but I've gone that route and for some reason, haven't been able to get it to work again on my PC. I don't know.
