I just bought a new macbook pro 15" 2.0 quad 6490m 4 gb ram.
In snow leopard fcp x was working very well. I was just starting to be impressed by its performance. Sure, it's missing some important pro features, but it's fast at what it does.
So, I used my free upgrad to lion.
Now fcp x crashes about 15 seconds after it opens.
FCP X! Why you crash?!
First it freezes and nothing moves but the cursor. I am stuck like that for at least 10 minutes before I am able to get it to close.
Background rendering is turned off, but that hasn't helped at all.
I do notice that my free ram drops down to almost nothing.. and I mean nothing.
Motion 5 still works great though.
Everything else works fine except that after waking from sleep my macbook pro freezes for seconds at a time a few times... it's pretty weird.
Am I in a unique situation or is this normal? Is my mac defective or is it the software?
I know, it's probably because lion is new and so is fcp x, but I spent lots of money on this machine/software. I hope apple fixes this soon.
Sorry if I sound bitter.. I'm just a wee bit frustrated right now.
Thanks guys/gals
