FCPX10.1 Free Update

FCP10.1 update available in App Store as free update.
Looks like some nice improvements.
New Libraries might trip some folks.
Guess I might bite and download.
New Motion there as well.
What do you think?

Well just found out both FCPX10.1 and Motion 5.1 require Mavericks.
Been holding off on Mavericks due to Mail bugs that were supposed to be fixed in last update.
May wait awhile to update.

Yes sadly my old MacPro doesn't allow Mavericks so now I'm praying I get a new MacPro in the next few weeks.

I too had been holding off on Mavericks, but no more. I need/want/crave the new version of FCP, so I just started downloading Mavericks.

Fingers crossed that all goes well.

I would have liked if Apple had given the option to buy 10.0.9. Now only those who have Maverick can buy the software. And reinstall option for us who do not have Maverick is not available if problems occur. That is bad.

If you already have FCP X 10.0.9 just put it in a folder and zip it to archive it. That way you can go back to it. Also, I have been using Mavericks for a while with no issues other than wmv files will not open under Quicklook.

Makki,
Apple has also made earlier versions of software available through direct support, so you might try to contact Apple if you do not have 10.0.9 now but need it for your hardware / OS.
Not sure, but if this works let us know.
Hope this helps, Greg

I dont like the new update and here is why...

Media management is worse than it was, how do I group clips according to project?
How do I import a project into FCP X?

The previous 10.0.9 listed the projects on the far left, where is that screen now..

Help...

Yes. And Apple has published a best practices doc specific to 10.1 updates. support.apple.com/kb/HT5550

Thanks all, I have 10.0.9 and have a copy on another drive. My old Mac Pro can only handle Lion, so I ordered the new Mac Pro here in Iceland. We have no Apple Store but an Apple reseller. I guess this will be a long waiting.

Double post

Really wish there had been roundtrip with Motion. Oh well, I guess that's still not he wish list….

I am so lost at sea, how do I open the PeachPit projects?

I cannot see any way of opening a project, something is really not right, I feel so incredibly stupid, any one??

Please a skype call to help ASAP...
I am so so so lost :sick:

File --> Update Projects and Events

(make sure you have a backup first!)

I did that, and a mess of purple boxes with stars in it, along with other purple boxes with stars, updated projects and keyword collections, I have no idea how to understand the layout.

Just when I got to the bottom, Apple destroy any understanding I had...

Justine

If you updated them then the sequences (projects) are now in the library.

I am using the exercises from PeachPit Press, that creates a virtual drive with the projects for each chapter, how do I open a chapter exercise?? How do I find the chapter exercise??

Pressing updater option leaves me so confused..
