FCP X media management solutions?

[Aindreas Gallagher] “what’s the movie?”

A low(ish) budget film called “Chakara” high six figure budget and shot in India. Started the edit a while ago hoping that I would have better audio out options by the time I had finished, fortunately X2Pro came along at the right time. Just about to start the grade in Resolve.

Garrett, I too have been dealing with media management issues and here’s my most recent post if you’re interested. The input was really good. It deals more with archiving though.

As an aside, I cut the film across 6 separate projects due to FCPX’s poor handling of longer projects. To test 10.04 I just compiled the 6 projects into one long 100 minute project with 1300 clips and it seems to handle it very well, no lag on playback or editing like previous versions.

For anyone that happens across this old thread, FCP X completely changed its media management with the concept of “Libraries” in v10.1 (released in December 2013) and it appears to have addressed many or all of the concerns of the original poster.
