Rob, I'm working at a place with 2 FCP suites, one on Mavericks and one on 10.= 8.5. The Mavericks one has severe problems with FCP and Red Cine. In a = general sense it is unstable to the point of being unusable. As I'm not a FCP editor I can't describe the exact problems but basically= the system just beachballs a lot, especially when dragging footage and f= olders around. I don't know if it's just that one machine or if FCP in general is flaky = on Mavericks, but if you rely on FCP then I'd be pretty careful and would= not transition to it just yet. -Chris
