Improved Compound Clips
In Final Cut Pro 10.0.6, Compound Clips have changed, resulting in dramatically improved performance and making it much easier to make changes to multiple Compound Clips at once. One thing that is important to understand is that these changes only affect Compound Clips created in 10.0.6 or later . Compound Clips created in earlier versions of Final Cut Pro will work the way they used to.

Even a short documentary is more than a 1TB of footage, which is more than my current pocket drives. Original + ProRes 422 + Proxy = too much for longer projects.
My 2 cents.

How would I hide events?
I am aware of and use this, but I haven’t played with it much (seems to inconsistently hide):

Jeremy,
Thanks a ton!
Great suggestions. I’ll try this out going forward.
Regards,
Chris.

I meant to also say, that when following their example in the video, by copying the Event via FCPX, it requires copying all the footage too, and you can’t specify which footage, it just copies the original and any optimized/proxy media as well. I usually don’t have that much available space on my second, more portable drive, I just want the proxies. I just realize there’s lots of metadata floating in between copies of stuff and don’t want to mess that up.

I watched this video and, at min 2:15, they warn against doing Event copying via the finder due to a unique ID that is assigned to each copy of an Event.

Wouldn’t your suggestion mess things up? Or have you found this not to cause a relinking problems or FCPX making weird (fcp1) duplicate aliases to files (what happened to me last time I tried something similar to this).

Thanks! I’ll probably try a small test with sample clips later.

Chris.

if your discs don’t mount, pop them in the U1, and using the U1 Utility software, click “disc” then “format” and it will update the disc from it’s old database structure it shipped with and change it to the updated version that your decks are probably running. Then it will mount to the desktop provided that you’re deck is plugged in (PC REMOTE should be displayed on the deck). You can’t mount a disc using HDSDI, in case. Has to be firewire.

hope that helps.

I’ve got the PDW-700 and PDW-HD1500 deck, and we can get stuff off the DL discs, but how can we copy disc footage to another disc, and/or output an edited sequence back to disc all on a Mac running all the latest (FCP 5.0.6 and OSX 10.5.6).
