Avoiding FCPX text... Any alternatives?

I do not know why Apple chose to use only Motion text in FCPX but for me it's a disaster.
I edit foreign language docs and to do so I need subtitles inside FCP but this is impossible using text in FCPX. In FCP7 using lower third basic text for subtitles was fine - they did not even require rendering. In FCPX it grinds to a stop. Even the smallest action is a 20 second lag. I have background renedering switched off but then no video plays where you have basic subtitle text. If I switch this on.... I am in hours of wait time... for basic lower thirds... Please!! This really needs fixing.
Is there a 3rd party I can use for basic lower third text?
PS.. This is not hardware issue... I am on a brand new full spec - full processor - full ram Retina MacBook Pro, 3Tb Thunderbolt drives (Two) with Thunderbolt display. Gobs of Thunderbolt capacity. I wish it was that simple... I would buy my way out of this.

New user does give a performance boost - I did this on an older Mac last year - but this is a month old Mac and I tried keeping it lean. It's disapointing to set up  new user now ... and how long will the new user last?
One thing I just tried was I have a 3Tb back up drive present with a copy of the events-project folders. I just ejected this and I got better performance immediately by having only my working drive present.
If this starts to lag, then new user it will have to be... but that is getting rather dull and repetitive as an answer with Final Cut.
Thyanksfor your advise.

  • Internal API DCTaskFlowBinding.. any alternative to this.

    Hi All,
    -- Jdev: 11.1.1.4
    In a solution to get handle to the bindings inside a region from its parent I am using this API DCTaskFlowBinding.
    This is Internal api.. Is there any alternative api for this ?
    I know that we should avoid using internal api's but can use of DCTaskFlowBinding be seriously alarming.
    Please note that I am using this api's ONLY to get handles to internal attribute bindings to read values form it.
    Thanks

    Edited class name..

    The API I use for DCBindingContainer imports
    import oracle.adf.model.binding.DCBindingContainer;which doesnot look to me to be a internal class since it dosnot have internal anywhere in its package structure.
    What is the complete class path that your code refers to ?

  • Sorry about first try : how to avoid html-text tag converting & to & amp;

    subject
    how to avoid html:text tag converting "&" to "& amp;"?
    body
    hi,
    i have some values on DB like "& #351;" and when i use html:text to
    show binding's value, html:text converts "&" to "& amp;". in generated
    html, it looks like "& amp;#351;".
    how to avoid this conversion?
    thanks...
    Ayhan G�ng�r
    note: i use white-space among special characters because browser renders them. ex : (& amp; to &)

    hi, i use property attribute of html:text.
    property is declared in UIModel xml file.
    i mean, i don't use something like
    <html:text value="data"/>i use just like
    <html:text property="bindingName"/>and value is shown in generated html input tag as value.
    html:text has no attribute like filter.
    i think i should override html:text tag, and create a new tag that checks if value includes "& #351;" this type data. If there is, don't convert "&" to "& amp;"?
    any suggestions?
    thanks...

  • Any alternative to the BADI for scaled pricing in CCM catalogs

    Hi,
    We are not able to use the scaled pricing functionality in CCM. When the item is added to the shopping cart from the CCM catalog the highest price gets chosen by default irrespective of the quantity ordered.
    I understand that this can be solved by activating the BADI /CCM/CSE_ENRICHMENT and Implementation /CCM/CSE_OCISCALEPRI
    IS THERE ANY ALTERNATIVE TO THIS. CAN THIS FUNCTIONALITY OF SCALED PRICING BE ACHIEVED WITHOUT THIS BADI.
    Regards,
    Srivatsan

    Hi Srivatsan,
    you could use the BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER to amend the price, in order to do this you would need to pass the lower bound to one of the OCI custom fields in order to pick up this avlue and determine the correct price.
    Why do you not want to use the standard implementatiom though?
    Regards
    Chris

    Any help on this please?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Thanks for reply.
    Is the grain below quarter level?
    ------> Calc date is below quarter level in the time dimension,Time dimesnion has FS Year(level1)->FS Quarter(level2)->Cal Date and Time key(Time key is the primary key with the combination of cal date and the pk of some other table (level3))
    Does quarter exists as a field in your date dimension?
    --------->Yes Fs Quarter is a field/column in the table and in the dimension
    check if quarter is a chronological key, does your quarter contain year in it(2011-02)?
    -------->In each level i have key defined, also in the FS Quarter i have.
    In the level3 i have both the key defined as key but cal_date as pk.
    Yes, Data of the qtarter is in the form 2012-01.
    Do you have quarter in your report, without date field?
    --------->yes, the report has FS_qtr,count for current qtr,count for previous qtr using ago function
    and the filter used is cal_date>='01-JUN-11'
    facts->
    There is a view in the database which is being created for time dimesnion.
    The view has
    FS_Year , FS_Qtr , Calc_Date ,Cal_month , cal_qtr, TimeKey(PK) , Pk_from someother_table_acting_as_fk.
    Please let me know where i am going wrong?

    Please help

  • Are there any alternatives for iphone backup extractor?

    Hi all,
    I find that the 'iphone backup extractor' program is very useful, however it is quite annoying that they limit the extraction to 4 files at a time and that we have to pay in order to get our own data files propperly. :S
    When I restore my old backup from iTunes, every new thing is gone, when I restore the backup I just made, the old backup stuff has gone. It just replaces each other.
    Apple should have their own software like this where you can extract what ever you want from your old backups and transfer it on to your phone, such as contacts for example.
    Anyway, I was wondering if there is any alternatives for this program, or any other way I can extract my backup files ?

    If you're on a Mac, there is a "free" iPhone backup extractor, but none that I know of for Windows. You could always code your own program, that would be free.
    Apple doesn't provide a mechanism to do this for the simple reason they don't want users screwing with the iPhone backup. Thus, none of these third-party programs are supported.

  • Any alternatives to "Photos" app for iPhone/iPad???

    I can't stand the white background everywhere as a result of iOS7. For me, the worst is viewing my photo collections in Photos on either iPad or iPhone.
    Can anyone recommend a better alternative to Photos? I already checked out iPhoto and didn't like that either.
    I just wish Apple would give people the choice to select either black or white as a background, at least in the Photos app.
    So any alternatives to Photos or besides iPhoto?
    Thanks very much in advance. 

    I don't have another app to recommend to you but in the meantime, did you see this from the last discussion in the More Like This box to the right>>>>
    Click on a photo to view it in full screen.
    The photo now has white background, click the photo again and the background color will change to black.
    You can now slide through your camera roll photos with black background.

  • Lost my application dvd that came with macbook pro, early 2011. any alternatives to get the applications in that??

    lost my application dvd that came with macbook pro, early 2011. any alternatives to get the applications in that??

    I'm not sure how this is an iTunes issue, but anyway, other than buying the apps from the Mac App Store (note that iDVD and iWeb are not available via the App Store), the only alternative is to call Apple support and give them the serial number of your Mac. They can usually sell you a new disk set for a reasonable fee.

  • Is there any alternative to set serveroutput on

    without having to use the set serveroutput on can i make the results display using dbms_output.put_line.i have tried using dbms_output.enable on somebody's advise.
    begin
    dbms_output.enable;
    dbms_output.put_line('xyz');
    end;
    but the above one is not displaying the result if i don't use set severoutput on. is it must to use set serverout on.is there any alternative keyword or somthing which i can embed in pl/sql block itself to display the result.
    thank you.

    pl/sql is not a user interface tool. It cannot display anything. There are various ways to get to see output from it but whatever method must involve some other facility which has the ability to display stuff.

  • Is there any alternative application to the Carbid...

    Hi,
    Is there any alternative application to the Carbide.ui Theme Edition?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I've tried carbide.ui several times over the years but never stuck with it long enough to get any decent results.  The program is aimed at developers and offers total control but that also makes it feel complex.
    The creators on those sites are very simplified and aimed at users without any theme creating knowledge at all.  As a result you have much less control over your theme.  If you are looking to create themes for your own use then they are fine but if you want to create professional quality themes your only option is carbide.ui.
    There are guides for working with carbide.ui which you can find by searching google but you will still need to invest a lot of time and effort if you want good results.
    Personally I now just stick to using themes created by professionals such as babi, pizero and tehk along with custom wallpapers that I adapt or create myself.

  • Any alternative to BT Yahoo for web access to emai...

    When I am at home I access my btinternet email account using Microsoft Outlook, but when I am away I often have to use the BT Yahoo web access which I find dreadful. I object to using it with all those adverts and flashing lights. Is there any alternative browser access, as I'd rather never have to use the BT Yahoo interface?
    Thanks
    Bill

    mlogin.yahoo.com
    or, if you're happy providing your login credentials to a 3rd party, use a gmail or similar account and use it to fetch your BTY mail.
    I hate the adverts etc as well. It's acceptable (to me) with eg a freebie @yahoo.co.uk account, but not on a subscription service.
