Here is an article on creating the boot drive and installing the OS. This will allow you to boot the computer using the OSX installer drive. Note that the drive will need to be erased to do this so back up or move anything important to another drive. You can use a USB stick or hard drive for this. Step 3: Create a bootable copy of the OS X installer and install the OS on the partition. It will try and automatically launch when the download completes but a box will pop up saying it can’t be installed. It will place the installer in your Applications folder. Step 2: Go to the App Store to your Purchases tab and download Mountain Lion or Lion again. Here is an article that explains how to create and manage partitions: Partition a Hard Drive in Mac OS X I gave myself 82 GB and that is proving to be barely enough space. If you use any Adobe Apps remember they make those pesky Cache files that will fill up the partition quickly if it’s not large enough. Make sure and make it large enough to install the apps you want and any extra files that go along with that. Step 1: Create a new partition on your HDD. The process as I did it will probably take a 2-4 hours to complete: I’ve outlined that method at the bottom of the article. There is a fast way to have FCP X 10.0.9 working on your system but it doesn’t have all the same benefits. So if you are one of the few that could benefit from this then here is the how to do it. Right now this will be more useful as some people have done the update to FCP X 10.1 and some have not. I hit download and it then downloaded FCP X 10.0.9 :) I got the message above when I tried to install FCP X. Oh ya, I’m not in Mavericks anymore, that means no FCP X 10.1. Now for the happy discovery.Īfter installing the Adobe Production apps on the new Mountain Lion Partition I decided to install a few other apps I often use so I could access them while booted in this partition. I didn’t want to do this as I lose some HDD space but I think it’s really nice to have a way to be backwards compatible as technology is always moving so quickly forward. Encore is back to it’s old buggy self on the Mountain Lion partition but at least I can get me work done. That way whenever I need the compatibility of the older OS X I can boot up in that and get my work done. After a couple days of troubleshooting I came to the conclusion the best option was to create a small partition on my HDD and install OS X Mountain Lion on it. Adobe has officially dropped Encore so there is no hope of a OS X bug fix. You have to create all the buttons and highlights manually in Photoshop which is a pain when you have a lot to do. I’ve confirmed this with others having the same issue. Mavericks breaks Encore’s ability to create buttons from elements of Photoshop made menus. The next time I went to work on my Encore projects after the Mavericks update I had no luck. I updated to Mavericks just before FCP X 10.1 came out. I’m creating a large BluRay set which I had been working on when I was running OS X Mountain Lion. I was actually troubleshooting Adobe Encore, Adobe’s disc authoring app. It was a happy side effect of an annoying situation. I didn’t start out trying to get both versions of FCP X to work. That way you can still get a project from them, edit in FCP X 10.0.9, and then hand the project back no problem. The only situation I can think of were you would need both is if you normally use 10.1 but you are working collaboratively with someone who can’t or hasn’t upgraded to FCP X 10.1 yet. Especially since the new FCP X 10.1 update is such a big step up feature and functionality wise. Not that you would normally need or want both. What? I can run FCP X 10.1 and 10.0.9 on the same Mac?
