Hello,
Thank you everyone. I think I must forget about my ‘desire’ to have everything as efficiently stored as possible. You are right, an extra HD isn’t that much of a cost.
But.
I still think it is a pity fcpx doesn’t allow to delete rejected files, whether they are part of a clip, or a whole clip.
I also think it is a pity fcpx doesn’t include the keywords you use in the exported file. If you give, let’s say, the clip between the 1th and the 2nd minute the tag ‘United States’, and between the 3th and the 4th ‘Grand Canyon’ – why doesn’t fcpx keeps this information in the export? If you loose your original files, you still have the masterfiles (I hope). In this case you wouldn’t have lost any keyword information.
I’m actually a photographer, and I work a lot with Adobe Lightroom. These options all exist in Lightroom. So if it is possible for pictures, why not for movies…?
Thank you so much for your time. This is a great forum and I still have a lot to read and learn ?
ps I shoot mainly on my Canon 7D
