FCPX and Mountain Lion- beware

[newtodvx100a]

Thankfully I just delivered my project before updating to Mountain Lion. I just loaded 13 clips to the project line and selected the last clip and tried to move it. FCPX crashed repeatedly. I finally just deleted it then reselected and put it where I wanted it.

As a matter of standard practice... it's never a good idea to update software, whether NLE or OS, mid-project.

Interesting... Most reports are that it's more stable and a bit snappier. Did you try deleting the render files first?

From what I see it feels far snappier. But ya, never update NLE or OS during a project.

I'm having NO issues running FCPX on mountain lion with my MBP retina! Snappy time and happy editing over here!

I don´t think it is snappier. It is just the same as it was

But MLion has some neat features. One of my small favourites: It now shows a progressbar in the finder when you copy something. Before, when copying 30GB and waiting to be able to eject the drive, we had to find the little progress bar-prompt somewhere behind all the other windows. Now you just look into the finder again.

A lot of little improvements throughout the OS.

After having used ML with FCP X and Motion 5 on some serious work now, I agree with alphi69, on my MP it's running the same speed. Maybe a bit more stable. Lots of nice productivity enhancements that are saving me time in ML.

And you've updated to 10.0.5?

Of course...
