Is there a solution yet for FCPX eating all the RAM?

FCPX is eating all my RAM and 'Memory Clean' keeps having to kick in so that the system doesnt stop completely. I have searched various forums and sites for an answer but noone seems to have a solution yet.
My events and projects are all on external (7200rpm) drives, I use Event Manager X to only open what I need per project, and background processing is off, but the RAM just keeps diving down until the system almost freezes. Very frustrating, especially if a client is present.
Yes, I've trashed the preferences.
umm...help?

I do not believe that MC is capable of purging Video RAM thus the memory on your graphic card.
There are two RAM problems with FCPx or should I say OS X 10.6 & 10.7
10.6 & 10.7 does a bad job (10.6 worse than 10.7) @ setting RAM Free. This problem shows itself when overall system performance (I.e. opening a WIndow in the Finder) becomes a matter of 10 seconds etc...
There there is the Video RAM problem which is pertaining to FPCx and all versions of OS X. This problems shows itself after working intensively in FPCx... All one needs to do is to do LOTS of editing in the Timeline... On my setup with 1GB of Video RAM it will take approx. (depending on how many tasks (Edits) I am completing) 20 minutes to reveal itself. To begin with (after opening FCPX) it simply flies. No matter what I do, there is no lag just a VERY responsive app... Then after those 20 min. the CTI (Playhead) starts lagging and jumping in play. The skimmer starts choking, menus (Inspector etc) are opening at turtle-tempo...  However, my Free System RAM is still @ about 10 GB.... so lots and lots of RAM... The video RAM is what is being used and NOT SET FREE.
Rebooting the Mac at this point is the only remedy. Which is OK... My rMBP boots in 7 seconds. So I am rebooting approx. every 30 minutes in a big session.
Whenever you guys experience these problems, try to take 5 minutes to recap and write to the Feedback. The more scenarios we can provide them with the better their chances of finding the culprit.
I personally find the FCPx crew to be HIGHLY responsive to feedback. THEY def. care

  • Any solution to syncing Outlook 2011 all the way to iCloud.

    Is there any solution to syncing Outlook 2011 all the way to iCloud. 
    I have read tons of posts and have tried the different ideas in there but I haven't found a solution yet. 
    I can successfully get Outlook 2011 to sync with iCal.  That is no problem. 
    When I activate iCloud all the iCal entries merge with iCloud and show up on iCloud.   Again everything seems great.
    However, my new calendar entries in Outlook 2011 no longer sync over to iCal.  From what I understand this is because Outlook 2011 wants to sync with iCal "on my mac" calendar and when iCloud is activated "on my mac" calendars are removed from iCal. 
    Has anyone come up with the solution to this problem.  If so I would be in your debt if you would share it. 
    If not I just need to know so I can cut bait on using iCloud as a way to get my Outlook 2011 info onto my iPhone 4S. 
    Thanks for the help!
    Chris

  • Is there a solution yet to no full screen music videos in os7?

    Is there a solution yet to no full screen music videos in os7?

    I've been told by Verizon business team that Sumsung and Verizon are working on a fix. Of course, that could be one month or 12 months.
    My wife and I have a Samsung S3 and Note II and both, on Jelly Bean have the same flaw. It's very frustrating. I carry with me an unlocked HTC and also Verizon Incredible 2. Since SIM Data plans are cheap enough in most countries, I just get additional SIM cards with a data plan and turn on the hotspot feature of these devices with I access from the S3 and NOTE II. Not ideal, but close enough for now.
    In the UK, I am hoping the LTE capabilities will work (VodaFone UK is imminent).

  • Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
    If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.

  • Is there a fix yet for the loss of battery power after updating to Lion?

    Is there a fix yet for the loss of battery power after updating to Lion? I've done the cmd-opt-shift restart and it didn't help.  This problem has gone beyond annoying now - it is absolutely maddening!    What is Apple's official response????

    Chris: your friends are woefully uninformed, and no one should pay any attention to their bad advice.

    @Dmitriy Buldakov, have you found the solution to the issue yet? I have the same problem, no option to turn on MMS in my iPhone settings. I checked the settings on my friend's iPhone, which has the same iOS version as me (8.1.1), and the option is there. It's really annoying...

  • During the verification phase of burning photos it fails yet it seems that all the photos are there?

    during the verification phase of burning photos it fails yet it seems that all the photos are there?

    Greetings,
    Verification occurs after the burn is complete.  The computer goes back to check the disk it just completed burning for errors.  The disk is burned, it just didn't burn to the computer's satisfaction and may contain errors that will prevent it from working either on this computer or others.  Then again it may work fine if it is a very minor error.
    Common causes:
    Low quality DVD/CD media
    DVD/CD media that does not match the specifications for the drive in the computer
    Resolutions:
    Buy a brand of DVD/CD that has a reputation for making quality media
    Check to see what speeds your optical drive in your computer supports: http://support.apple.com/specs/#imac
    --- Once you locate your model on the specs page search for the word "optical" and make note of the speed of disks the drive uses.  If your drive says it burns at 8x for example and you purchase a 16x disk then the disk does not match the drive.
    Hope that helps!

    Thanks for the help. I installed CC and it fixed everything but Photoshop. I guess I will have to use my old laptop for images until Adobe fixes the problem. Do you know of a place where we can send issues like these to Adobe?

    While creating an account from my iPad there is no option for selecting none in the payment options. It states I have to give my credit card details. What's the procedure to open a free account?

    It's in the article.  You must first sign-out your current account, then go to App store to purchase a Free App.  It will ask you to either Sign in or create a new AppleID.  That's when you start creating a new AppleaID and NONE will be available as a payment option.
