  • Is there no way to organize events in folders?…or something?

    I have several different “categories” of events for the videos I make: My wife’s real estate promos, my teaching videos, mini-documentaries etc. I’d like to group the events for each in some way. The only way I’ve found so far is to have individual external HDs for different major areas of work: not always practical. And then there’s some subcategories I’d like to make. At the moment I have an ever expanding pick ‘n mix of events totally unrelated in content. Any suggestions guys?

    Thanks

    It does appear there is no easy answer to this, having read around further, and given the null response. Metadata is a great idea, but in this implementation the underlying assumption is that all my footage is equivalent and potentially usable in any project. Yes, it is, but I still want a draw for underwear, another for socks…

    Have you looked into the sparse disk images workflow? I’m not using them, but I think you could achieve something at least similar to what you want.

    A search for “FCPX Sparse disk image” should turn up all kinds of results.

    Hi David: I finally got around to looking into the sparse disk images workflow. Wow! – I think you’ve nailed it for me. It’s an excellent idea that I plant to implement. Thanks so much for pointing that out.
