10.1.1 - 10.1.3

Hi

Having a LOOOOONG running project since March I haven't updated FCP yet. I don't want to go over to Yosemite just yet.

I have watched all the videos I can on the new features, backed everything up including 10.1.1.

What are the potential issues, problems or pit falls? For the first time this year I am clear of edits until Monday.

Oh and I HAVE brought the software....... Saw that post earlier

None. New feature that allows you to assign media and cache storage preferences on a library by library basis. Library properties appear in the inspector when the library is selected.

Hi Rob,
You may want to take a look at this blog post by Philip Hodgetts

Covers most of the library structure changes.
MacBreak Studio has some vids too, you may have seen.
As Tom says, 10.1.2/3 gives you more flexibility/control on where to store media/cache.
If I remember correctly, you cannot open libraries updated to 1.2/3 in 1.1 anymore.
Hope this helps, Greg

Greg's right. You never have backward compatibility unless you store the old library and a copy of the application if you need to go back to 10.1.1.

Well 11am tomorrow will be the time. I have backups of everything I might need including FCP in a ZIP.

I might have to change my workflow, I use Post Haste with a template library inside for my jobs with keywords and smart collections all setup.

I will let you know tomorrow.......

You're pretty well protected if you follow the advice above. I've just found out I'm clear to update as well, and this is a big broadcast job, so I'm being very careful about it. Here my plan:

1. Copy 10.1.1 Library files to external drive and set it aside.
2. zip FCPX v10.1.1 inside the applications folder.
3. Download and install 10.1.3 from MAS, and try upgrading a project.
4. If something goes awry, you can always delete the new FCPX and unzip the old one, then replace the altered library file with your external Library backup.

I'm not sure how I can be any more safe about it, and since my online house is now on Resolve 11, I'll get better compatibility if I upgrade to FCPX 10.1.3.

Well that was painless as was suggested

Thank you so much for all your help and advice with this. Liking the new features. Going to spend today getting to grips then back to real work Monday
