Not sure what happened here, and I've searched the internets to no avail, so I thought I'd ask.
I think a week or so ago, I had a system crash, and after rebooting, I relaunched FCPX from a "version save". Since then I've noticed FCPX slowing down and also that it seemed to be eating up hard drive space. Yesterday I noticed that I have two "almost" identical libraries...the original library, and a new one with the same name, but with the "version" number string ( I think it's a date/time stamp). Both seem to be bing updated as I work, although the new "version" library is larger, the primary difference being that any new media I add seems to be going only in this new library, although the transcoded media and render files are the same. I'm wanting to delete the "old" library, but I don't want to have it all go to hell...there don't seem to be any "pointers" in the new library to files in old library. Curious if anyone has seen this before and how to approach it.
