Projects not scrubbing in the event

[Charlie Austin]

[Bret Williams] “The projects are scrubbable, just like compound clips were in 10.0.x. Am I missing a setting?”

Nope. I hope they’ll enable it soon though, I’ve whined about it to Apple…

Wait, you can’t scrub them in iMoive. Either I was wrong, or the Mavericks update broke this. I could’ve sworn you could scrub projects in iMovie. Well this is definitely a step backward.

I can’t upgrade today, but can you still have separate Projects if you want them, or do they ave to be in a Event now?

Is there still a Project Browser?

Separate in what sense? They do have to be in an event. Essentially 10.1 converts your old Project Lbrary into an Event, with it’s associated Events in each new Library. you could make a new Library and drag a just project into it to share or something though…

[Jeremy Garchow] “Is there still a Project Browser?”

Nope. Good in one way, but bad in that projects aren’t scrubbable anymore. That needs to come back.

There is no more project library(browser). if you launch with events and projects mounted you have to convert them, which amounts to all the events and projects being placed into a library.

Use event manager to make sure you only have the events and projects mounted that you want to convert to a library. In the library, the projects are all placed into an event. Kinda akin to keeping your sequences in a bin in legacy.

As I mentioned weeks ago when I saw how libraries was implemented in iMoive, Libraries are essentially legacy type projects. But with much more flexibility. And trying to discuss the similarities of the two is extremely mind boggling because of the crossover naming convention of projects being two completely different things in both. But if youi look at the new structure as it equates to legacy, – Libraries=Projects, Events=Bins, and Projects=Sequences.

But unlike FCP legacy, if you open multiple libraries and use media from one library in a project in another library, X will copy that file (or reference I assume) into the corresponding event and so forth. So you won’t ever need to mount an external library to get your project to play. I how I remember the issues of having multiple projects open in legacy! Digitizing to the wrong capture scratch, etc. They’ve eliminated those issues.

All in all it looks like a better setup for most workflows. Except not scrubbing the projects! Perhaps they decided that was just way too much of a memory hog. And it was.

[Jeremy Garchow]

Separate in the sense that it was a completely separate file in the Finder.

I really didn’t mind things being separate, but I’m sure the Libraries will be cool too.

You could tell that Apple was going to bundle the file structure.

Even in iMoive they have a two additional views in the “browser.” All Projects, and All Events. I’d like to see that in X. If you have separate projects in different events, it’d be nice to cut through and just see open/mounted projects.

[Charlie Austin]

You can. With a library selected, use the view popup (gear thingy) to group clips by File type.

Also, FWIW, Alex4D was correct… iMovie an X are basically now the same app with UI differences. So it’s a safe bet that any cool iMovie features could possibly appear in X at some point.

Thanks guys.

I’m reading though this on lunch break: https://images.apple.com/final-cut-pro/docs/Media_Management.pdf

Glad to see that there’s new definitions too, managed media, external media, generated media etc.
