Right now the internal HEVC Main 10 Level 5.1 10bit files are extremely taxing on even the most high end hardware. Maybe Adobe CC 2019 with improved playback acceleration could make things a bit better, but for now if you really want 10bit, external recording is almost a must!

Transcode. Edit. My trashcan with external raid can pretty much keep pace with 4k if you set a seperate cache on an external fast SSD.

what is the exact workflow here though? i just import my HLG footage in final cut, and then simply drop that alexa x2 lut on it and grade it from there? or do i have to tell final cut to interpret the footage in some particular way blabla

 

HLG is Rec2020 it has to be resolved to Rec709 at some point unless only going to be seen on a TV that can resolve HDR10. 

FCPX has a default custom lut plugin that can do just that in a Rec709 Library. Pop it on your footage and choose Rec2020 input and Rec709 output...to boot you can add a lut if you want to or just let the plug resolve the color space for you.
