XDCam to FCPX
In the past I was able to use XDCam transfer to create Pro Res files that I could import into FCPX. After updating my old laptop to El Capitan, that no longer works.
I can import the footage into FCPX with no problem, but I’m confused as to where my footage will live. I prefer to leave the footage on an External hard drive.
My question is this. If I save the BPAV folder on my external drive, then import everything into the FCPX Library, can I still leave everything in place on my external drive? This way I don’t bloat the library.
Any thoughts? Thanks so much!

Just do a stress test and see how it all goes.
Even with the updated OSX I am able to live with older codecs just as long as you have the right app to deal with them. -

You can set your library settings to put all imported or generated media into a specific location like an external drive. The pulldown on the first choice lets you pick a location.
Or you can choose to leave the media in place when you import new files.
