I have 78 video projects in the Project Library. Final Cut Pro seems to have to load and render each project individually before it displays the mini timeline. is there any way to turn this off and browse only by Project Name, because this makes it take anywhere from 5-18 minutes to move from one project to another!
Got a tip for us?

i gave up on fcpx, its a pile of crap, couldnt even export 3 basic movies taken from a blackberry, majorly dissapointed in an app that costs this much!! im actually using motion 5 which is a million times better..
78 projects can be a pain no matter what app.
cgbier is bang on and if thats too hard, just move the projects out of your main folder temp till you need them.
There are a few tips out there that deal with this.
I for one cant stand most apps project dealings.
Worse is Avid.
You cant open multiple projects so you have to import the BIN.
PIA!

yes i do, for now motion with imovie functions better for me than fcpx i also have after effects but havent used it much, all i was trying to say is that the current state of fcpx is a joke, to export movies is nearly impossible at least for me. too many bugs and stuff although i havent used it since the 10.2 update...
Okay so you know for sure that FCPX and Motion are not the same type of apps. I got that since you mentioned Motion along with AE.
There is enough negativity going around about FCPX dont need to add to it.
Using Motion as your final file output isnt ludicrous cause some have done it using AE as well, but honestly they are not NLE and dont ever walk into a studio claiming that

i really want to use final cut i really do, used fc7 for ages, then when presented with a new upgrade i loved it, the look and all, then when i try to edit a simple mobile phone movie, it doesnt work to export? it corrupts halfway through when exporting and thats if it even gets to export, all im saying is fcpx seems to be lacking alot these days and theres alot you can do in motion and imovie and after affects that if your not james cameron you could create a class movie project..
Event the simplest of projects can make any app fail.
First you have to ask yourself, what format works with FCPX?
Some of the mobile phones formats dont play nice with any NLE.
Usually need a supplied app from the vendor e.g. RIM BlackBerry software.
Then convert to your liking.
This is common from hobbyists to professionals.
Not all formats work across every app out there.
You have to roll your sleeves and break a sweat at times

yeah my problem was that it was exactly the same movie file that i used in fcp7 which worked flawlessly the thing is in fcpx it would work perfectly when editing on and even in preview however when it came to exporting to any format it would just mess up, the video image would overlap other video images and not play or it would just come up with some stupid error message that i have since long forgot..
This case came up numerous times online e.g. CreativeCow, Apple Support and even fcp.co.
Check if you have the lastest in OS X, QT (such as the Pro downloads) and FCPX.
Ive had no problems with SL 10.6.8 and FCPX 10.0.2.
But prior tons of problems (10.0.0 and .1).
I guess its a trade off.
FCP legacy = deal with QT Gamma issues
FCPX = deal with all QT issues
LOL!

this sounds promising as im on SL too, il have to crack on with it and see what happens..
Ive been using FCPX since the release. Had to learn it fast for a course I teach at local college (evenings).
Since Im a die hard Avid MC and FCP legacy user I thought for sure Id be pulling teeth.
I went into learning the app to get positives out of it.
There was so much net negatives that actually helped me.
I used all the shortcomings of FCPX as fillers in my classes.
Helped the students since most are not working with old tape machines and have no idea what an NLE is.
FCPX is just another pencil

It sounds to me like you've spent enough time using FCP X to warrant a highly credible opinion. What a pile of crap program!!11!
