I have never posted negatives about FCPX since its release.
Even though it failed in so many ways for others.
However this time around I think they should fix a few things before making it bloatware.
Current doc Im dealing with crashes on AVCHD files converted to ProRes422.
I never crash on full feature R3Ds like this why on short form docs I dont know.
Running on nMP D500@16GB maybe?

You can as long as you maintain folder structure.
But even then a little elbow grease you can resurrect dismantled resources in no time.
I’ve had the displeasure of working with multiple drives and folders that was renamed.
As long as you have the original (I only work with original footage) imported it all comes back even the Synced files.
This got smoother after 10.1 for me.
For my evening classes I got the students to hand in XML files instead of packaging.
As long as they maintain resource links (I provide 99% of the working files) and send external links to my Dropbox.

We use Suitcase Fusion.

Not cheap but great for our shop.

Unless you have the final output on QuickTime files.

Then just import those.

Is the final output for high res print?

Are all the projects setup the same e.g. HD, 4K, etc…

Whats wrong with importing 20 AEP in one project.

I do it all the time and avoids screwing up the original.

Much faster than opening one project at a time.

Then if your setting up in 3D you might have to make changes to the static frame so no need to open up the original project again.

I export all kinds of frames from PSD, JPEG, PNG, etc…

They all work to up to 30k pixels.

So true. Im but f’ of nowhere and I havent seen a nMP at the local Apple Store since 2013.

We buy from big distros and only reason Id walk into an Apple Store is to charge up my dying 5s 😛

Thanks for the tips, this will help.

I havent had to do this in ages.

Im used to RED footage exports for dailies using RCX.

I didnt realise AME had this option.

[Eric Santiago]

I just have to update my AME.

Thanks again Michael!
