10.1.1 - back to Beta

I was an early adopter of FCPX and absolutely loved it. I worked through the failing to save bugs, duplicated projects to ensure I didn’t lose work, etc. It was totally worth it.

But now, with the additions of the libraries and the optimizations they’ve made for the Mac Pro, it’s become nearly useless on my 2011 iMac. It stops and spins the beach ball when I change fonts, crashes to the desktop if I zoom in on the time line or extend a clip by dragging the edge, all things that functioned just fine before the “optimizations.”

As of right now, it’s practically useless for me.

Very frustrating for someone who’s supported and love the software since it’s debut. It’s never been as unstable and terrible as it is in it’s current form.
