  Making a light-weight library copy with RSYNC

  Posted by Loren Risker on February 1, 2014 at 12:09 am

  If you want to copy a library without the original media, render files, or transcoded media, this terminal command seems to do the trick nicely:

  rsync -av –exclude=”Render Files” –exclude=”Transcoded Media” –exclude=”Original Media” /path/to/testcopy.fcpbundle /path/to/copy

  To use it just copy and paste:

  rsync -av –exclude=”Render Files” –exclude=”Transcoded Media” –exclude=”Original Media”

  into terminal, then before you hit enter drag and drop your library, then drag and drop the folder where you want your copy to go. Hit enter and it should work! make sure you add a space before you drag and drop the source file and destination folder.
