Dear Bill,
Thanks for that, that was a very clear explanation. I think this project is too far gone and would it be more hassle to get all the rushes together on to to ne drive. But I will follow your suggestions for the next one. Cheers V much, Dan.

Hi Mark, thanks for the post. If you don’t mind could you expand on this?

“Like forgetting that an element on my thumb drive needs to actually be imported to the proper bin in the proper drive”

I still haven’t fully grasped the protocol of where media should live. ie all on one drive, or has to be together with project drive??

Cheers,
Dan.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the post.
I am running an intel G5 with 8 gigs of ram. FCP version – 6.0.5
I think I may have found the problem, if I could run it by you.
All the media is on 3 terrabite drives. It was dig’d (by someone else) into what seem’s to me quite random capture scratch folders scattered across the drives including internal HD. Some are folders within folders. The project lives on one of the TB drives.

Admittedly, I am thinking in an ‘Avid could handle this’ sort of way, but perhaps you could tell me if this description rings any alarm bells for you?

Yes the other editors I referred to are Avid editors… point taken 😉
