FCPX constantly backing up and rendering issues.

FCPX makes an automatic backup of almost every single change I make. It's really slowing me down. Every clip I select and drop into the timeline is backed up and I have to wait for it to process or the program grinds to a halt. It's essentially backing up every few seconds as i work.
Also noticed that when i open a current project it re-renders the whole thing. And often sections of a project I'm in the middle of working on just suddenly start rendering again. I might make a change to a clip near the end and suddenly the first 30 clips start re-rendering.
Another rendering issue is when I have made a change to a part of a multicam clip, say a colour correction or added an effect etc. It won't render the change until I adjust the clip length and return it to normal. As in, stretch the clip out by +2 seconds then pull it back in -2 seconds, then the render will begin.
These problems are costing me a lot of time and money and would love to hear if anyone else has experienced similar and has solutions.

Suggest that you download TimeTracker to reveal exactly what is being backed up on each pass.

The application is not fancy, and it will probably take 5-10 minutes to load depending on how much data you have on the Time Capsule.
Once you identify the file that is causing the bloat, you can elect to exclude that file from backups if it is not needed, using Time Machine Options.
It might be a backup history for your browser or something similar if you do not clear the history on a regular basis.

What sequence setting would you use to edit 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in FCP. Experiencing Quality and rendering issues.

What sequence setting would you use to edit both 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in a single timeline in FCP. I'm experiencing quality and rendering issues. I've tried numerous settings but can't seem to figure this one out. Thanks for your assistance.

Although you can combine the avchd 1920x1080 material with prores 1920x1080 in the same timeline, you might land up saving time just converting everything to 1920x1080 prores 422. You'd probably reduce the amount of rendering while you're working and exporting when you're done by a great deal. This workflow will require much more drive space.

Back up and heating issues

Out of the blue my Z1C started to heat. A lot.
Also the aluminum flap cover of the SIM card protrudes and is not smooth. I had the phone protected by a cover all these 3 months + hence did not notice it. I went to Sony today and they acknowledged is not right and being under warranty offered to fix it. I went back home and tried to back it up as advised by Sony and surprise! I can not back it up. I have installed the latest PC companion. I have removed the SD card. I unchecked the pictures, video, music and kept only messages, notes, calls etc.
So I might loose **bleep** everything.
These while the phone is getting unusually hot up to 43 degrees C.
On top of the ever freezing camera.
I don't like to bash products and I learn to live with the flaws. However Sony disappointed.
Edit: I also restarted both computer and phone. The phone I have restrated in both normal and safe mode.

Glad to hear that this got sorted; regarding the battery life, this can be a bit off for the first week or so after repair but tends to settle.

PPRO CC 2014 CRASHING, EXPORTING AND RENDERING ISSUES

So Im finally back on track and working well except for the sequence thumbnail regeneration issue.
Once I started rendering in Software vs OPENCL including projects already rendered in OPENCL I was able to EXPORT again,
Render without issues and a heck of allot less crashing.
I also had to go back to Pluraleyes 3.0 vs 3.5 because it was so unreliable.

Cross Dissolves and Rendering Issues

I am having trouble with FCP 5. My cross dissolves don't work. When I put on in (to fade up from black), they don't do anything. This is not a huge deal because I can just use opacity key frames.
However, I am having another issue. I have three layers of video set up to make a sort of "grid effect" . I have three layers of video, on the left, middle, and right. They are cropped so they do not overlap each other.
When I play back the timeline in preview mode (without rendering) everything plays back fine, but at lower quality.
However, when I render my sequence, the middle box vanishes.
I am using Unlimited RT. I have tried setting the sequence in all three video processing options (RGB, YUV, and high precision YUV).
I have tried making a duplicate copy of my sequence, I have made a duplicate copy of my project as well.
I have trashed my preferences and have restarted my computer about 10 times.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hey there Jim--thanks for the thought,
yeah, I'm famailiar w/ that mode of attack--
essentially, the images are scans of a childrens book made into a DVD---all of these images will be 'deep-etched' and 2.5d'd in AE then re-imported so for all intents and purposes, I'm just slamming together a rough, (pre-photoshop/AE) and just trying to get an approximate timing/flow of each image. So it's easier/faster for me to have 'snap' toggled and be able to slam clips/slugs next to each other as opposed to 'stacking' them, 'checkerboard' style, and approximating where to place them---
I guess if it's just a rough, it doesn't matter either way, to each his own.
I was just looking for a shortcut--but what a cool feature that would be eh? ..being able to lock keyframes to crossdisolves?
so, how are things in Milford??
thanks for re:

Playback and Rendering issues when GPU acceleration is enabled

I'm using the new MacPro with dual AMD FirePro D300. When I enable GPU Acceleration (Open CL) I can no longer play through an entire sequence. It specifically has issues playing through any layered graphics or titles, but seems to play with those disabled. I have tried having "Composite In Linear Color" enabled and disabled, and neither seemed to make a difference. It's the same deal when rendering. If I have titles, and use GPU Acceleration it jumbles clips, cuts to black or static, all manner of weirdness. Is there something I'm missing?
An example of what playback looks like if I have titles and GPU Acceleration enabled.

This computer thing seems complicated enough that if your system works better with GPU accel off, that's you best performance. I understand they've been trying to sort out these sorts of issues but there's so many dang variables, and trying to build software that interlinks with other complicated software is something no other NLE or Grading program does. That throws even more kinks into the list.

Premiere CC 2014 playback and rendering issues

Definitely having problems that I wasn't having just a couple of days ago.
Timeline, 4 minute music video mainly7 all on V1 and then V2 with just a few short shots overlayed using opacity/screen. I use this technique a lot and always worked more than fine in Premiere CC.
So, I made some minor changes today. Select in/out on entire project and hit render in/out.
First thing I notice is the progress bar keeps jumping back and forward; ie - 20.0% then 19.8% then 20.2% and so on (two steps forward one step back).
Then noticed... I hit render and it says rendering 1 of 20 previews... ie 500 frames. Then it gradually changes... 1 of 21 previews 510 frames.. 1 of 22 previews 520 frames etc etc and etcetera... and basically never end... just hangs around 98.8% until I was waiting for over half an hour for something that would usually take seconds in the previous version. I keep having to hit cancel on the render.
Then, I look at the render bar on the timeline.. all is green (zoomed in, no yellow anywhere).. hit play and it pauses for a split second here and there. Completely randomly. Also certain shots just completely freeze.
I didn't have any of these problems in the previous version of CC and at present it's not suitable for client playback. Nowhere near it.
Any updates?
Thanks

I selected the entire project that was completely rendered and hit render and it did 0 of 2 frames 1 video preview.. then 4 frames 2 video previews up to about 50 previews. Eventually looks like it has rendered. Hit play and the video clips its pausing on are now completely green shots. Not had this on PPro or CC before. I have a Quadro 2000 and usually runs perfectly. In fact there is not chance of it being my card. It's definitely to do with the update.

What is my time capsule constantly backing up and how do I stop it?

Even when I have made no changes to documents and added nothing new to my computer, my time capsule still backs up 5-7 MB each hourly backup. This slows down my internet while it is backing up.
What is it backing up? My internet history??? Is there a way to prevent whatever this is from being backed up (while still keeping the automatic backups)?
Thanks.

Back-up and restore issues on iphone 4

Long story short, last week my iphone 4 stopped working and I got a new one (same exact model). However, the cloud settings for some reason would not import meaning none of my contacts, apps etc could be transferred, so I basically had to start afresh. However, today I plugged my iphone into my laptop and was given the option to restore from backup or set up as new iphone. I chose to restore from backup and was able to restore my setting to the last time I updated which was in October which I did. However, the restore seemed to "erase" everything I did since last week (before the restore). Is there anything I can do to recover my imessages and photos from the time between the October update and today? Specifically since I got my new phone last week? thank you

Hi, thanks for replying. I'm actually not sure if I backed up or not because there are photos i took yesterday which show up in my icloud on my laptop. but newer imessages are not appearing.

HP Designjet Z3200ps Constantly on "Pause" and Driver Issue

Hello.
I have a Z3200ps 44-inch, which goes to "Pause" all the time and doesn't allow to print at all. Also I cannot see Paper/Quality menu in printer driver window.
HP Printer Monitor shows the printer to be "Idle", which is its normal state.
All the drivers are up-to-date and I tried to reinstall them, as well as resetting the printing system - it just doesn't help.
Any ideas?

Not sure if this is part of the problem or not?

Time machine constantly backing up very little

I've noticed over the past week that time machine is running almost constantly. My external WD drive is always spinning as is the TM menu icon. When I click on the icon it will display something like "preparing 500 files" or "backing up 11mb). Then it backs up and goes through the cleaning up process. If a back up starts on the hour it may take 40 minutes to back up that 11mb. Then it starts again in about 5 minutes. I originally thought it was possibly safari caches and constantly changing web files. I excluded them and other often changing files. I closed everything and rebooted. I waited and even with nothing running it would still go through the same thing. Apple support suggested reinstalling the OS. Before I do that, anyone had this problem? Thanks

Also having the exact same problem. Very slow back-up of many tiny files -- it just took about 30 minutes to do 145KB! What's going on? I've excluded the System, Library and Applications folder. That brought the number of files down from tens of thousands to just a couple thousand. But it still constantly backs up and takes forever, even it's it's a just a couple MB of data. Any info much appreciated!!!

Updated to LR 5.4, images now importing extremely slow. After importing and rendering images are still very slow to go through and develop. No issues in LR 5.3 which was very fast.

After importing and rendering images are still very slow to go through and develop. No issues in LR 5.3 which was very fast. Canon,Nikon, Leica and Fuji files all rendering slow. iMac 2.9 ghz 16gb RAM OSX 10.8.5. Catalogs and images are kept on external drives. Drives running fine. Really need a fix on this since I'm norally imported and processing at least 4,000 images per LR Catalog. Is there way to revert back to 5.3? I can't use 5.4 is its current state. Thanks.

Download LR 5.3 and install it
By the way, lots of people have this complaint about LR 5.4, and the advice I give is to use LR 5.3 unless you need one of the new camera models supported by LR 5.4

Since purchasing the Note 3 in October i have had nothing but issues. I went through all the steps and eventually I was sent a different phone, which was working for the most part until the recent upgrade. Now I am back to the old issues, no service, it actually says not moblie network available, when everyone else in my family has coverage and are on my plan with iphones. I am missing text messages and dropping calls left and right. This is unacceptable for the cost of this phone and my service. I have did a hard reset etc. What else can I do??

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
