That’s because the rest of the discussion, of which I was party to before you joined it, is complete bullshit.

It’s an event because it’s an event in iMovie. It’s an event in iMovie because it’s an event, Johnny’s birthday.

This product is the logical extension of iMovie. This is the product iMovie users would step up to. It uses the terminology these users are familiar with.

“I don’t think a dedicated Viewer/Canvas is essential”
I haven’t tried it, still to early, but we need to find a good workflow for dialog and interviews without a gang function. With only one viewer ganging is obsolete. I’m not sure if Apple will find a solution for this using some multicam-type mechanism.

Generally the workflow is to put the media for a project in a single event. The event can act as an FCP7 project. It holds all the media for the project, whether it’s your scuba trip, your wedding, a corporate communications project, a documentary short, or a narrative feature. The event holds the media, the media gets broken into collections and smart collections and can be organized in folders. In FCP7 you could use sequences and bins to organize. In FCPX you can use multiple ways to organize including bins (folders) and sequences (compound clips).

You can select a bunch of clips in the Browser and convert them either into a compound clip, where they are strung out like a sequence, or into an Audition, where they are grouped in a container where you can switch between the clips. For instance you can’t decide which of four clips to use. Select them in the browser and make them an Audition. Edit the Audition into the project and then switch between them to try them out in the sequence.

Excuse the use of the word window. The Timeline is a panel in FCPX’s single window. The Event Library is another panel. The Event Browser is another panel. The Viewer is another panel. The Timeline can hold a project, or it can hold an opened clip, showing its tracks, or it can hold an opened compound clip. The project is the sequence as you would understand it in FCP classic. You can have as many projects as you want and switch between any projects you have available on your hard drives. You can copy and paste between projects. You cannot put projects inside projects. The projects and events reside on your hard drives, and any can be accessed at any time.
FCP has multiple folders that hold the media for multiple projects in a single capture scratch folder. Similarly FCPX has a single Events folder than can hold multiple events, each contained inside a folder and includes the media (or aliases to the media) and other files like analysis files, just as classic FCP did.

Timeline is a window. Project is a sequence in the window. Event is an event, more like scratch disk than folder.

Select the external drive in the Event Library and create a new event. Select the event when you import the media.

Certifications for FCP7 and FCS are closed. AATCs can still give certification exams, but there are no more certifications for these applications.
