For those of you with FCPX, have you noticed it requires a ton of memory? I'm getting page outs like none other whenever I run it.
I'm running a 13" 2011 MBP with 8Gb of memory, 750Gb 5400 rpm hard drive. I usually only try to have spotify, FCPX, occasionally safari when I need it.
Some of my thoughts: Since I have an integrated graphics card, is a large portion of my memory being tied up with it? I am editing HD video that's been optimized. It plays it back fine in FCPX, but when I start going through different menus, options, effects etc, I'll get the beach ball. I've tried to setup my project files on a my USB 2 external drive, but I'm now wondering if its making it worse and I wouldn't be better using my main hard drive.
For those of you running FCPX, how much memory do you have? I'm just trying to understand where my main bottleneck is or if I need to look at reinstalling my OS and everything. I'll try to get a screen capture next time I'm working in FCPX look at the memory usage. Right now I'm at 3.9Gb page ins, 4.2Gb page outs.
