Thanks for the help Tom, and that makes sense in a way I hadn’t thought about before. I’m so used to making everything prores for purposes of editing in FCP legacy that I didn’t stop to think that a benefit of being able to have access to the original media would allow me to create a final render from the source material even though I didn’t have to edit using that original source material.

Hmm so does this mean I don’t have the option of using media alias’s rather than copying the original media?

My hope was to import clips as proxy or optimized media without having to copy over the original media.

Thanks again.

Unfortunately no,

I’m importing the footage from an external hard drive. The files are the exact copies of the data from a card though. Wonder if it’s possible that FCPX thinks the folder is a camera.

Bill,

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about only moving projects within the FCPX application rather than with the finder. I think the solution may be for us to just have an FINAL CUT EVENTS and FINAL CUT PROJECTS folder on each archive drive and copy the completed projects within FCPX to the archive drive that also contains the project.

One thing that seems unclear to me is your process for creating disk images. When we make copies of our media cards after a shoot we just copy the everything on the card to a folder named YY.MM.DD_ProjectName_CameraName_Card#. Do you create a disk image immediately after your shoot, copy that disk image to the archive hard drive and then mount it whenever you need to access the footage?

Lastly, do you delete your transcoded media once you finish a project? If so is there a way to do this within the FCPX application or would I have to do that through the finder?

Thanks again for your help.

So I tried rolling back to v1.2 of the plugin but unfortunately that didn’t help. At this point I’m unable to batch capture restore 5D material in any of my projects.

Well the issues I’m having is that it’s not only broken the connection with files I transferred with v1.2 but it’s also broken the connection with files I transferred with v1.3.

Also, do you have any idea where I’d find a copy of v1.2. Canon’s only seems to show v1.3 as a download option.

And on another note, has this been addressed in FCPX or is reconnection with DSLR footage a problem there too?
