I can change I just think it’s immature to change the nomanclature. Change for change sake.

[Jeremy Garchow] “You the list that FPCX makes of the Project? It’s not called a Project Index, it’s called a Timeline Index”
sensing impending embarrassment
So what exactly is a project over and above a Timeline?

Terrible confession time. I never read the manual. Just did Ripple.

Hi Jeremy.
I might keep two closely associated “jobs” in one library. Each of those might comprise 5 or ten timelines which I want to put into a transfer library but when I do, the Library is still quite a few gigs and I don’t want it to have have actual media in it. But it still contains media I don’t need as it’s all in the duplicated library on the external drive. I don’t ask it to copy media … it still does though. or appears to and the size of the Library would suggest this is the case.
If I tell someone I am sending a timeline it’s not a problem. But it’s not called a timeline is it? It’s called a project now!
And it still confuses people and I am so bored with writing project/timeline every time to make sure there is no confusion

I’m sure people will think “why is he still banging on about that?”. But it’s because It is constantly something have to make sure people don’t get the wrong end of the stick about and so I have to call it a ‘project timeline’ to be certain I’ am communicating clearly.
I can kind of get over Library (pointless but at least less confusing).
Event (well funnily enough I had reason to be rather pleased of that the other day. Multiple day shoot each Event a different day).
But WAY too late to change the name of a sequence or timeline to something used in every other NLE (I think) and referring to a completely different “thing”.
I’ll get over it one day.

Thanks Craig,
I have the Library duplicated on another drive with all the media on it.
This project (sorry this “job”) consists of 9 different swimming clips of particular drills with lots of shots used on more than one Timeline/”project” so I really need them all in the same library
I should be able to create a new Library and copy the timeline/projects into it and then copy that Library to the external drive and copy the Timeline/projects in to the duplicate library no and then take the drive with me and a laptop and all systems go?
But the media does not seem to reconnect as I hoped it would.

It might pass the rights violation but it would also spot the soundtrack!

The thing is it is a sequence of swimming video clips and this was the last in a series of 9. The others are all sitting happily on Vimeo with the same soundtrack! (Probably I should not have said that) and the soundtrack works perfectly with the visuals.

Of course you may be one of those people who learns better from text in which case the Multicam section in FCPX help is pretty comprehensive.
Hope that doesn’t sound unhelpful but nothing is written there that we could probably improve on. Specific problems and somebody here will always be able to help.
Just go to the Help drop down menu and search “Multicam”
