Does FCPX Work Better In Lion?

Hi.
I've been reading about FCPX ever since before it was released... Lots of people were. I'm still debating whether to buy it or not. I've read a lot about how buggy it is, but most of that was written before Lion was released, and I'm thinking that the new OS would be adding more features and stability to FCPX. So I'm wondering if anybody who may have had difficulties with getting this app to work well on SL, have discovered that it works very well on Lion.
Have you found it to be more stable? Does Lion add functionality that is missing with SL? Does FCPX finally run the way it's supposed to? I'd really like to know, especially because I'm not very fond of Premiere. Thanks.

I'm running FCP X on Lion and now that I don't have Studio 3 on the system, it's working flawlessly.
I have something over 3,400 clips in the browser and it copes with no problem. The only time I get the spinning beachball is when FCP X has to wait for the two external HDs to wake up.
As far as functionality's concerned, I can't help you. Everything seems to be there though.

  • Does Onyx work with Mountain Lion?

    Does Onyx work with Mountain Lion?  Also, if a program asks you to start up from disk, and you have Mountain Lion which was downloaded, then wouldn't that old disk replace the newer software? 

    Before using Onyx, or any such utility, you should backup your data:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
    note the 'b' in the version number of programs indicate it is a beta.   What I like to call a buggy everyday test application, or simply putting it, you are a guinea pig for the software developer.  Once you are sufficiently backed up, for what reason do you desire to use Onyx?  Mac OS X does its own "maintenance", and really Onyx should only be used to troubleshoot a backed up system.

  • HT1338 preview does not work with mountain lion

    I updated my mid 2011 mac mini to mountian lion and i find Preview and all of MS Office 2011 for MAC fails to work
    I can cut and paset the logs, but lets astart with assessing whagt does not work with Mountain Lion.

    Your profile lists a 2008 MacBook with Snow Leopard.
    I installed Windows XP into Bootcamp on my 2009 MacBook Pro (either in Leopard or Snow Leopard, I do not remember which) and I used it with Parallels 6.
    When I upgraded it to Lion, even though the Lion Bootcamp will NOT install Windows XP, my Bootcamp (and use by Parallels 7) survived the upgrade.
    It may be possible that it will also survive and operate a future upgrade to Mountain Lion.

    Any OS version of 10.8.4 or later has all features that are not OS depended. The plugins are one example. You probably haven't updated all versions of Logic Pro X to the latest one.

  • Does cs3 work with mountain lion?

    Does CS3 work with Mountain Lion? or even Mavericks? Help!

    Officially, Adobe supports CS5.5, CS6 and CC in Mountain Lion. I think only CS6 and CC in Mavericks. But many users here report being able to use any of the CS3 or later versions up to Mountain Lion without noticeable issues. Not enough reports yet by Mavericks users to say how well older versions work.

  • HT4075 This does not work on Mountain Lion OS

    I have done this in the past, but now that I try it in MAC OS Mountain Lion it does not work. No '+' green icon appears, it only reorders the documents...
    Can anyone help?

    That article was for 10.6.
    To combine PDFs, open one, show the thumbnails, and drag the other document into the thumbnail view where you want it.
    If you only want some pages out of the other document, open both and show thumbnails, then drag the pages from one to the other, dropping them wherever you want them.

  • Clamshell mode does not work with Mountain Lion.

    Installed Mountain Lion on 11" MacBook Air last Friday night.  Now system does not appear to work in Clamshell mode, as it won't wake or connect to external monitor.

    Apple Tech Support was very helpful.  The MBA works in clamshell mode next to my monitor now -- but does not work in the Henge Dock.  Henge Dock has been contacted.

  • Miror airplay does not work with Mountain Lion with my MacBook either with my Apple Tv.

    Yesterday I installed the Mountain Lion on my computer, it is a MacBook Pro i core 7 and Mirror's airplay function does not deplay on my superior tool bar and it does not work. Does anybody know how to make it work? The apple TV is the last model.

    I just installed Mountain Lion today, after finally getting the up-to-date code from Apple.
    I have also downloaded and installed the update for Mountain Lion, that fixed Powernap issues.
    Maybe it could have something to do with the firmware on the Apple TV? I am currently running version 4.4.4(3330)

  • My printer does not work with mountain lion

    I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and now my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer does not work.  I downloaded the required driver from the App Store but am still not able to connect.  Is there actually a solution for this or do I need to find a way to downgrade my OS to one that is compatible with my printer?

    From the HP site:
    Compatible operating systems
    Microsoft® Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, Windows® XP (SP3)* or higher (32-bit only): *Supports 32-bit only; Mac OS X v 10.5, v 10.6 or v 10.7; Linux (For more information, see http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html)
    But then also on the HP site they have drivers for the printer for 10.8. See here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4142&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&s w_lang=&product=4323659#N194
    I would try the driver from HP.

  • My scanner does not work since mountain lion

    Since I installed Mountain Lion my scanner does not work anymore.
    I have a Konica Minolta Magicolor 1690MF and the printing works.
    There doesn't seem to be other drivers available at Konica Minolta.

    Your apparently older Model needs to use Apple's "Print & Scan" which is found in Applications>System Prefernces>Print & Scan:
    Place the item that you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load it into the automatic document feeder (ADF) if your printer has one.
    Click the Apple menu (# ), and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan (# ).
    Click your printer in the left pane.
    Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
    Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to change scan settings.Figure 4: Example of the Show Details scanning screen#
    Change any scan settings as necessary, and then click Scan .NOTE: Make sure to select either the Flatbed mode or the Document Feedermode, depending on your printer and how you plan to scan.
    Hope this helps

  • Gmail does not work with Mountain Lion

    Since I installed Mountain Lion, Gmail does not work properly. I still receive emails, but everytime I try to send an email through my gmail account a window opens and says:
    "Cannot send message using the server smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]  Sending the message content to the server failed.  select a different outgoing mail servre from the list below or click Try later..."
    Any way, the only smtp mail that works is my Icloud email. Exchange server works too.  Yahoo does not work either.
    I appreciate any insight to this problem.
    Thanks

    You likely have corrupted settings for your  "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" for each of the failed Accounts.  Open Mail>go to Mail's Preferences>Accounts>select an Account in the left column to work on>then set up your Outgoing Mail Server which will INCLUDE resetting up your Password, as its asking you to.  Click on "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" near the bottom of the Accounts window while your mail account is highlighted in the left hand column.  When you click on SMTP... you will see a drop down box icon offered at the right side of the line.  Click it and then select at the bottom of the the list "Edit SMTP Mail Server".  Fill in the required settings for your ISP mail account using their recommended settings.
