Adding folders to FCP Projects Folder
Hi Everyone,
I like to keep all project related files in one place (word docs, spreadsheets, etc.), so I was wondering if anyone can see any issue with adding folders in the FCP projects folder for a specific project to organize these files. I have started experimenting with this, and seems to be fine so far, but not sure what will happen when I move a project, or if it could cause some problem down the line.
Anyone else doing this?
Thx!

Hi,
We have been working this way since fcpx was released last year, we have multiple folders in the event folder such as exports, dvd transcodes, documents etc. it works well for us. We used to have extra folders in the project folder also but decided it was getting a bit scattered so decided to move everything to its respective events. That way we only need to worry about one extra folder when archiving.We also use sparse images sometimes which is an even tidier way to consolidate everything related to a project. It works very well

If not using sparse images, when you move said project or event in the FCPX interface, do all the folders go with it?

I don’t move projects in fcpx unless I need to consolidate media. The reason is that I usually have a good few projects per job separated into folders such as previews, short edit etc, so moving them through fcpx is one at a time and not very efficient. I just move stuff around in the finder and fcpx picks them up, just don’t do that with final cut open
