A larger drive is on its way. So there should be no issues transcoding a few extra hours of h264 into prores/proxy. I was just trying to see if there was a way to select parts of a clip to transcode instead of the whole clip. I was saying import before but what i think what i meant was transcode. Mixing up the terminology.
i will look into disk images and sparse bundles.

Thanks alot guys!

I think i have the solution. Client is sending over a larger external. 🙂

Im still curious, What is that on the import screen that appears to let you set a range on a clip before importing it?

Thanks Bill,

In this case
Drive space is an issue. I am working on a clients HD (320gb free). Its a documentary style show. i have alot of footage that is already prores so all i need to make from it is proxy media. However there are some clips like the one in the picture that are about an hour long. I dont have the HD space to turn them all into prores. i can work around that if i really had to on another drive but i just thought it would be easier to import the parts i need if possible. The clip in the picture is from an old german hip hop tv show. its 80% videos that i dont need and the rest is interviews that i need to have so i can pick at them later. These clips are H264.

On the Media Import screen you can see where i selected an in and out Marked by yellow. At least thats what i think. I shift + Click on what appears to be an in and out mark. Click on Import Selected – Create optimized and proxy, No need to copy files to events folder since the drive will stay the same. Then nothing happens. Im trying to figure out why it looks like fcp will let me select a range of the clip that i want to import but then nothing happens.
This make any sense?

Ok so i have one of those clips here. Its like 52 minutes long and i only need like a minute from the top and a few minutes from the middle.
I figured out how to Shift click where i want the beginning and end to be, its not the usual I & O keys. But i cant figure out how to select multiple ranges. could you elaborate on that a little..

I use v-control for ipad. i mostly use it for logic but it works for fcpx too.

YES THAT WORKED!!
i just changed the name of the PRIVETE folder and now all the sub folders show up.
That just saved me lots of time.

i have always used RX as a standalone. Nectar and Ozone always worked fine within FCPx for me. I did have nectar crash a few times in fcpx because i applied it to alot of small clips, but applied it to those same clips as a compound clip it never stuttered.

Ok, I just realized i can drag & Drop a MV4 file in my logic pro timeline. When you drag it to a track, a DROP MOVIE box opens up with 2 check boxes.
1. open the movie (unchecked)
2. Extract the audio track. (checked)

Problem solved – if you have Logic or some other daw.

The Share Menu is gone in 10.0.7
I want to export some bad audio from a clip to fix in Izotope RX. Then i need to chop it up in logic. I just need to export a wav or aif.
I am looking in File menu / Share/ and there are no options for just audio. Even Add destination doesnt have an export audio option.
Izotope RX works as a standalone.

I tried removing the render files for both event and project. didn’t have any luck. I deleted the event ones through FCPX but since i couldn’t open the project i had to delete the project render files manually.

Jeremy,
thanks, i tried a few variations of the process you described and i just tried yours and didn’t have any luck. Something in that project just doesn’t like something in FXFactory. What does Appzapper leave behind? I’ve used it for other software and it worked fine.

Luckily before this project crashed i exported a movie of it so i had a reference to go by. i started building it again, in sections this time, with all the same plugins and no problems. I am backing up my projects to an external now (like i should have before).. Im almost back to where i left off.
