    FCPX on 2017 Base 27" iMac

    Was wondering if anyone could share their experience with video editing on Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) on their 2017 Base 27" iMac with Radeon Pro 570. Was concerned if there would be any noticeable issues/lag with prolonged/advanced video editing on the base machine in FCPX. I'd imagine that video...

    Final Cut Pro is eating up all my RAM!

    Im at a loss. I have 24 GB of ram and when I use Final Cut Pro X, it literally uses up all my memory and causes my 2012 Mac Pro to come to a screeching halt. I've closed out all other programs, deleted all the unused render files, deleted backup files and cleaned out the cache. I've done...

    Is the New MB Pro 2016 15" Strong Enough for 4K?

    Hey there! I am looking to replace my very old Macbook Pro (late 2011, 13 inch) with a 2016 Macbook pro 15 inch. Now, since my budget is limited I was wondering whether the default configuration is enough in order to have a decent workflow editing 4K footage. Obviously, not a 4K feature, but...

    Final Cut Pro X always asks for a library

    Every time I open FCP X, it always asks me to locate a library. I know this would happen if I launch FCP X with the Option key held down, but I don't. I have tried to trash FCP X preferences, even reinstall the program but nothing helped. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix...

    After a lot of consideration and research, I have chosen to order a new macbook pro from 2015 i.7 with 16gb, a 512mb ssd, and I am still doubting about the processor. I was going to go for 2.5 ghz and then I was told in a store that I should take either 2.2(because "I don't need more") or...

    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. It was perfectly fine before the update, and I don't actually have a backup of that project... Has anyone else encountered something like this or know a way...

    Final Cut Pro X: Buy or Hold Off?

    Thinking about purchasing FCP from the app store for $299, but I noticed how this version has been out for a while now. A little hesitant to buy, as a new one may be just around the corner and need to shell out money again. Have there been any plans on a newer version that others have heard...
