Offline // Online workflow for FCPX

[Oliver Peters]

[Elizabeth Perlman] “was wondering how well FCPX handled these natively or if I should optimize anyway?”

Optimize. Especially if this is a large project. Or work with proxies created by FCPX for the offline edit. But test first to see. You might be OK.

There’s very little actual difference. Just a few pixels.

sry got the formats mixed up, it’s actually just HD–source codec is XAVC Long. After we’re done with the edit, do we need to reference back to our source footage + convert to HQ to do the online? or will the optimized footage work fine in order to create the master?

Hi Elizabeth,

Here’s a FCPX Proxy Only Remote Collaboration UPDATE 2015-0126

A great workaround that allows us to once again share work remotely with only small sized pointer files and work remotely with proxies:
