No worries there, I am a pedantic German – if I get into a software, I REALLY wanna get into it. 🙂
So, would it be an option to to it as following: Create a sparse disk image on my internal RAID (not sure yet, how much space I should give it though), Put all my source material (the folders from the Canon C300 CF Cards) into that sparsed partition. Then create the Event and Project Folder into this Partition as well. Now, in FCPX import all the media (but leave it in the original place, since it’s anyway already on the right “disk”). Later, I can copy that Partition on the clients disk, so he has the full project.
Would that be a safe way?
In the way I described, I understand, that FCPX is actually working with the original C300 material, so – coming from the transcoding world of FCP7 – it strikes me a much more stable and safe workflow (specially considering a round trip to Resolve) to let FCPX optimise the media into ProRes and copy it into the event Folder. Cause if not, when I export the XML at the end, does that link in Resolve to the original files of the C300 Card? I guess, these files DaVinci would not like very much, right?
