Cheers – Promise advise they tested / support 4tb drives; was hoping to go 5-6tb but playing safe with 4tb

Thanks Noah – I only use my Pegasus for media edited in FCP X and assumed other FCP X users the most likely to have experience of larger drives. Also got no response in “Arrays” 🙂

Good point re disaster- all our media and FCP x libraries are on mirrored Raid drives with a daily backup to Drobos and also to Amazon Glacier storage … So I’m hoping we could recover fully using one or all of those 3 options.

I have an updated fairly easy workflow solution – any thoughts? :

1. FCP X import Canon files from card > file names are Clip #1 etc
2. Go to imported files in FCP X library > Original Media
3. Use Better Rename to rename them ( and lose the hashtag if you want to process copies through eg Episode with BITC)
4. Back in FCP X, Trash the imported files in the FCP X event just created
5. Drag the newly renamed files into the event

Now file shave sensible descriptive names and clients using the BITC viewing copies (mp4s) will advise edit points using files with the same names as those in FCP X – just as before.

Hi Brett / others – did you get a solution to rename AVCHD files at Finder level on FCP X import?

I tried using Prelude which imports, renames and encodes but the resulting mpeg2 file won’t import to FCP X!

I need unique filenames that are the same in Finder as in FCP X so that when we encode compressed preview mp4s for clients to advise edit choices, the filenames are consistent.

Hi again – just looking at FCP X Share dialog – I see the Blu-ray option… the iMac’s internal SuperDrive is listed as an output device – does that mean the SuperDrive is able to burn a Blu-ray disc? I had assumed I’d need a dedicated external Blu-ray burner?

Thanks Danny, I only have one 3 minute film so no menu / chapters required. I’m not in the office to check, but thought FCP x only had sd DVD output – would I simply select the DVD option in FCP x Share menu, and burn on the Samsung bluray burner I ordered today?
