Projects not scrubbing in the event

[Bret Williams]

And at least if the event gets corrupt, the projects are in a separate event. But naming it media just worked in this case because it was the only event except for one reserved for projects. It might be logical to have multiple events in a library, acting more like bins, but since key wording is tied to the event, it still seems illogical for my project based work.

But are you saying you can put Projects into Keyword collections now?”

Yep, all those collections in the “CUTS” Event have 5 or more versions of each project. Works quite well, and if you’ve got your stuff in folders in the old Project Library, it converts them to Keyword Collections when u update. 🙂

[Bret Williams] “They’re definitely trying to discourage messing around in the finder by making the library a launchable document. “

“Messing around” yes, absolutely.

But I was interested to read in the Apple White Paper – that now that we have Libraries, Apple officially supports doing finder copies of entire Libraries in X.

So at least having all the assets consolidated into a top level structure means those on centralized storage systems can move things around more easily.

In the new structure, we’re all going to have to spend some time wrapping our brains around how the new types of references assets work I suspect. But at least Libraries mean that there s a single top level container that will help in collaborative workflows.

I am sad to lose my beloved laid out Project Libraries – but I’m trusting that with this loss will come new possibilities.

Right, but not in the Project LIbrary.

The Project Library simply mirrored what was in the Final Cut Projects folder.

I organize Projects a lot in the Finder as you can’t select more than one Project in FCPX 10.0.9.

Sheesh, I can’t wait till I an update and give this thing a whirl.

Thanks, Charlie.

That’s more or less logical, helps in the new structure.

Well, you can now. You can also delete render files from multiple selected Projects and/or Events. In a way it’s easier than FCP7’s Render Manager. And by in a way, i mean it is. 🙂

My pleasure. There’s some more random, hopefully helpful info in the post that pic came from.

Good to know. That bothers me to no end in 10.0.9

[James Ewart] “For the life of me I cannot tell the difference between a Library and an Event”

Remember in the olden days (10.0.x) you’d have mounted drives in the Event Library, and there were Events on each drive? Well, think of Libraries as just taking the place of those drives. Except instead of needing to mount drives to open the Events on them, you just open the Library. And the projects live in the same place. Other than that, Events and Projects are pretty much the same-ish. 🙂
