Word of caution if you use Date Time Stamps for Project Snapshots
If like me you use Snapshots and depend on the default naming with Date/Time Stamp to find various versions, or even your current version. When you first launch FCPX10.3 all Libraries/Projects/Snapshots get converted and all Time Stamps will be changed to the time of first launch. No way to use old time stamp to find versions. This will apply to any projects you open from earlier FCPX versions.
You need to change the Names of the Projects/Snapshots prior to allowing FCPX 10.3 to convert old projects if you want to preserve any way of finding snapshots that you depended on old Time Stamps.
Just thought I'd save someone grief.
Hope this helps, Greg

Oh my God, thank you! You have saved me so much grief. I'm one of those editors who creates frequent Snapshots as I work. Going to be a pain to prep my Libraries for the update, but great to know about this before hand.
