Archive libraries

Just the links / references.

This is what the Consolidate Project function is for. it will copy the original media into the event so that the real clips are local to the event. That’s what Bret was discussing in his initial response.

BRU … because it’s the RESTORE that matters!

Gotcha thanks.

Personally I will never (if I can avoid it) have a Project or and Event containing actual clips and sym link clips.

I think one way or the other is the way to go for simplicity.

I am finding all this a bit of a thing to get my ever demising brain cells around

That confusion is why our FCP X support in BRU PE 3.1 actually tracks down the real files unless you tell us not to. We’ve uncovered a lot of folks who had unchecked the “Copy files to event folder” option when importing media in 10.0.x.

A great new feature of 10.1 is that you can Consolidate original media clips in AND out of libraries.

So even if you end up with a mixture, you can fix it.

Hi.

Does anyone know yet if anyone has covered this topic yet on a training video like on either vimeo or youtube etc.. as I can’t find one yet?

It seems to have got over complicated. I can’t understand why there was not a very simple… “Archive your library.” click! with this version? just want to see it ion action in a video. er….. just to confirm that I am not going to mess up may archive.

Thanks for all your help
Anita Sancha.
