    I assume he partitions the Raid into pieces that can easily be copied to a single backup disk.

    I use a 6 TB Raid 0 for my projects and imported media and then back it up on to a cheaper USB3 drive. I use Raid 0 for speed not safety. As everything for a project is in my libraries, I can move old libraries off to some other disk as they are no longer active. For me, it doesn’t seem to be advantageous to save the imported media and projects/event on separate disks. One is not much good without the other. Also, no relinking is required.
    I also copy the card media onto another disk, in case something gets seriously corrupted on the FCPX files.

    As I first read here, the iphone 6s comes with 4k. I could resist and picked up mine today. 3840 by 2160.30p Codec AAC.H264.mebx. About 375 MB per minute. Not sure what I will use it for, but at least I can test out my Mac with FCPX on 4k, before going out for new 4k equipment.

    Here is my observation. I like the Johnny Carson playing the theremin better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50Rtg5Vmlrc
    Also, it appears that both FCPX and PP can be used to edit and these discussions verge on “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin.” I had to edit a fast cut commercial to music and after checking out the appropriate Mac Break Studio tutorial, it was really fast.

    Thanks, I blundered onto the FCP7 site by mistake, since I moved to X about 3 years ago with some difficulty, but now have become friends with X. I do have an XA10 and an XA20, but I guess I had moved to X before I got the XA20.

    Can’t you just make a folder on your hard drive, read the sd card either from the camera using a usb cable or remove it and put it in a card reader, then drag the whole AVCHD file into the hard drive folder? Works fine on FCPX but it has been a while since I used FCP7. The XA20 can also record in MP4, which I prefer, but haven’t tired to use that on 7. Unlike AVCHD, the MP4 files can be read one at a time.
    Maybe FCP7 is missing a codec.

    September 11, 2015 at 3:29 am in reply to: FCP X – food for thought

    With the iPhone 6s touting 4k, as predicted on this forum, how much computing power will be needed to edit it? Can they really squeeze that in to a Photos equivalent video editing program? I transition from Aperture to Light Room and while I love the power of Light Room, I miss the ease and efficiency of using Aperture. May FCPX live on.

    The Apple ad looks like the summer of love 1967. Amazing for the 1980’s. I couldn’t stick with the Microsoft ad too long, it was not quite as hilarious as they claimed.

  • [Jeff Kirkland] “t’s a great colour grading tool whether you’re a beginner or not. One of those things I can’t imagine being without now I have it.”

    OK I am sold. I am going to give it a shot.

  • While using Option X and then inserting clips worked for me in May, Using FCPX 10.2.1 it doesn’t. I previously went through an event, keyworded portions, but now Option X does not work and I can’t get the entire clips into the timeline, just the keyworded sections drop in.

    Help! Am I doing something wrong or has this Option X function changed?
