Can FCPX use Thunderbolt external LaCie Drive?

[Nikolas Bäurle]

Perhaps its not correctly formated. I use 3TB Lacie, bought it, connected it, works.

I regularly use a TB drive with FCPX. Do you see the drive in the event browser?

I have the 1TB LaCie Thunderbolt drive connected via Thunderbolt and am using it at this instant and it works fine.

create a FINAL CUT EVENTS folder and FINAL CUT PROJECTS folder on the root level of the external drive.

Final cut will then recognize the ext drive and treat it the same as it treats these folders on your system drive or any other drive
