Organizing Project Files Using FC
Hi. I’m working on a big project and I am close to finishing. I have files on my computer everywhere that are being used in My Final Cut project. I can manually locate all the files to bring them together in a folder, but I was wondering… Is there a way Final Cut can locate all my project files being used and copy/ and or gather them for me? That would be a great help in the future.
Thanks,
Jared -

Does it do what After Effects does? No.
MOVE? well, the Media Manager can do that, but I don’t think I’d trust it. You can use the Media Manager to COPY all of the footage. Really, media management should be handled from the get go…when you start and continue to edit a project. Avoid having these files all over the system to begin with.
Media manager, COPY…that’s what I’d use.

Thanks for the response. What did you mean, “does it do what after effects does? No.” what does after effects do?
Thanks again,

Gathers all the assets used in the project and moves them to one folder. Just like you were asking. It sounded like you knew about this feature, and wanted FCP to mimic it. It can’t…not reliably. COPY is the best method.

Did it ever work?

Yeah..
for anyone finding this DONT use MOVE.. Always use COPY, if the program crashes or for some reason you loose power or whatever, you can loos the original files..
Just go back later and delete after copied.
Pretty obvious, but just wanna put it out there..
