    Posted by Danny Grizzle on August 26, 2012 at 9:53 pm

    Thrilled by the FCP X Camera Archive function, especially ability to capture my DVCAM tapes.

    Archives are simply Mac Finder packaged folders, not footage that has been ingested into FCP X.

    Questions:

    1) Can Archives be moved to another drive?

    2) Can Archives be renamed?

    3) Can an Archive created from DSLR media on a laptop in the field be moved to my edit workstation?

    4) Can Archives be indexed with CatDV?

    This is basic information. I will figure it out on my own, but it would save time if anyone could provide guidance.

    Thanks,
    Danny Grizzle

    I don’t have the answers but I’m looking for them, too. I have a number of FCPX archives on a drive and am getting an error message when I try to copy them to another drive. It’ll be Wednesday before I get a chance to experiment/troubleshoot but I’d like to find out what the perimeters are, too

    Best,
    John
