Re: Apple - please focus on FCP X stability!

Tony,

It's running fine on both my ancient desktop Mac...

(2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon/6 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM/ATI Radeon HD 4870 512 MB/OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)

And even faster on my laptop...

2.8Ghz Intel core i7/8GB 1067 Mhz DDR3/Intel HD Graphics 288 MB/OSX Lion 10.7.3

Everything is very stable running X here. I haven't had a crash in weeks. I get few to no "beach balls" and the only time things really slow down is at the end of my day when I do Renders before outputting files or let the machine crank away on complex titling composites.

The key for me was keeping X on my machine, but my projects and ALL their files on attached Firewire drives - since that lets me "unmount" a project drive from the laptop - and move it over to the desktop machine where it re-mounts and is available for work in seconds.


But none of my projects have any issues on either machine since 10.0.4
