Cmd+K opens up the keyword dialogue. There you can create your own keywords and use shortcuts to apply them. It’s like custom favorites.

[ed sayers] “is something like this:

going to be as fast better/worse than using the onboard hard drive?”Definitely better than using the system drive, although it appears to be a 5400 RPM drive. 7200 RPM would be better.

[ed sayers] “is it still better to work with the project/events OFF my mac’s hard drive? i’m running FCP X 10.0.3 on a macbook pro”
Yes, it is not a good idea to work off of the system drive.
[ed sayers] “any suggestions for best external drives to use for speed, efficiency and price?”
If you have a Thunderbolt port, that’s the fastest connection. If not, a firewire 800 external will do.

What lens are you using on the front of the adapter? How fast? What is the aperture set to?

Looks like a good configuration. The SSD will make for a very snappy OS and speedy application launching. The 2TB drive will be great for your FCPX projects. I recommend cloning your SSD onto the 2TB drive or an external. I’ve only had one drive die on me in 12 years of video work and it was an SSD after 10 months of use.
Many are going with the upgraded video card for a boost in FCPX. How much difference does it make? I don’t know of any definitive comparisons.
To control which events/projects FCPX sees at a given time, you’ll want to use Event Manager X or sparseimages. Otherwise you’ll have every event/project on your system load every time you fire up FCPX.
This thing is going to be so much faster than your old iMac you’ll be looking for your socks!

[Robert Esmonde] “When I select ‘Duplicate Project’ in FCPX and choose the ‘Duplicate Project and Referenced Events’ option, is there any way to know how much disk space this Duplicate will take up?”
Just look at the size of the Event folder associated with the project and the Project folder itself and you’ll see how much space you need. Sometimes the render files can be huge. You can delete those before you dupe the project if need be.
