Its possible to maintain spacial relationship with secondary story lines but would be far more inefficient than doing it with a track based system. FCPX is really only good for the features where it’s made progress on 7. If you’re not taking advantage of them, you might just be slowing yourself down for no good reason.

Make sure you keep the inspector closed. Something about 10.1 makes mine unusable with it open. As soon as I close it, it’s smooth sailing. I’m on a late 2011 iMac.

Same Event. Make sure to give each camera a name in the inspector. If there isn’t a constant audio to sync to, then I’d avoid hitting stop/start on the record or you’ll be doing a lot of manual sync work.

It would open a text file.

Looks like I was looking in the wrong place for backups. Still a mystery why it won’t show in the master library. Just learned an important lesson on manual backup vigilance.

I have the same pause and play problem with a 2011 I7 3.4. I’ve found that quitting and restarting the program generally makes it go away.

Been having the same problem, the timeline indicator gets stuck every time I back it up on the transport and try to go forward. Its like a one second delay, making trimming a nightmare. I think writing and trading preferences helps. Why this is always necessary with fcp is a mystery.

Yes that’s what I ended up doing and what I meant by the process inside fcp. I was trying to treat the library the way I did fcp 7 projects which was the problem.

What I discovered was that you have to use “open package contents” to find where the bulk is coming from. That’s where all the info is that used to be stored in the events folder. All my proxies were there and thats where the large file size came from. Just a matter of deleting the proxies before copying the project or the route I went which was create a new library and copy the projects to it from within FCP.

I was hoping to keep the same folder structures instead of piling everything into one big folder. I have two hard drives with identical media copies and I have a library that 250gigs big. If I consolidate, it copies all the media into a different folder. I just wanted to retain the pointers, copy the library over so that it links to the original folder structure, rather than copying media that I already have and creating new links to that media.
