Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.6 improves overall stability and performance, and adds these fixes:

• Background Rendering uses the GPU on the graphics card, enabling CPU-based processes like transcoding and proxy creation to continue uninterrupted while effects are rendering.
• Loop Play with Play Selection enabled will continuously loop playback while making adjustments in the Inspector.
• DSLRs and other cameras that use the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) for data transfer will now appear in the Import window when directly connected to the computer.
• Improves system performance and smaller project sizes when working with Compound Clips.
• Clicking on a clip in the timeline selects the clip without moving the playhead. Option-clicking on a clip selects the clip and moves the playhead.
• Custom metadata views can be created and used as presets for exporting XML. Importing XML with custom metadata fields preserves data in Final Cut Pro.
• Ability to manually tag clips as anamorphic using the Anamorphic Override option in the Inspector.
• When duplicating an event or project where media resides on shared storage, only the links will be copied. This speeds up duplicating or moving events and projects to another editing station that is linked to the same shared media.
• Improves behavior when moving clips to different vertical positions in the timeline.
