2TB Lacie Rugged drives are less than $200- might be a good investment.

I’d recommend going to ProRes unless you’ve got a 12-core new Mac Pro with D700s and a lot of ram. Performance is just a lot better…

Haven’t seen one and I’d think it would be a detriment to your capabilities in X to try to map Premiere key commands of all things to it when even the FCP 7 command set rarely maps 1:! to X’s. That said, this might help:

True but transcodes made on Edius won’t necessarily be usable directly in FCPX. X likes to do this itself automagically.

Before completely looking that in I’d also recommend looking at- https://support.apple.com/kb/PH12702
Some camera formats need to be transcoded before FCPX will edit them, others can be edited directly from the original folders. So you’ll want to be certain on each flavor before you settle on a workflow mode.

A screenshot would be a big help to understand what you’re after. But you can next compositions within Compound Clips and use the crop tool as well. Also for deeply complex animations, I highly recommend using Motion.

Yep- your question requires a basic understanding of the Library structure before getting into workflow. But generally speaking if you want each of your projects to live in its own hard drive separate from all others, then starting with a Library and placing media inside it will allow you to achieve what you want. That said, FCPX is actually much more flexible and automated in terms of asset tracking than 7 was so it’s worth spending some time learning its advantages vs. attempting to 1:1 recreate your prior workflow.
