Fina Cut Pro 10.1.3 Event Management

When I move an event (and presumably its contents) using the "Move Event to Library" command to and from an external hard drive the original media does not travel with it.
1. How do I get this to happen correctly?
2. How do I tell FCPX that a file in the original media folder (I can tell from Show Package Contents) is really there?
Thanks

Thanks, Tom, for the specificity.
Any references to moving events to hard drives has actually been me referring to moving events to different FCPX libraries located on differing hard drives. I have 2 G-Raid (4TB, 8TB) thunderbolt hard drives for storage and archiving, and a Lacie 250gb thunderbolt SSD hard drive for larger active projects home.
The problem I am having is not specific to the library any one hard drive. It is when I move the events from one library to another. The screen shot was to show that the FCPX project had no clips in it, and the clips were in fact in the original media folder in the Package stored in the movies folder on my native HD.
The other libraries were wither not included in the screen shot to keep a few things private, or I had either not opened them or I had already closed them. I have one library on each of my three external hard drives.
The updated projects library actually holds three events from 2013 that I have not touched. I'm not sure how they got there.
All my media is managed, which I think means it is not shared among many events.
I actually just dragged the three clips from the finder window into the Clips window and it worked without reimporting them. I am still wondering about the solution to thumbnut copying in the first place.

Final cut pro X not reading events in external hard drive

I know this has been talked about in one way or another but I still am just not understanding. Any help I can recieve will be much appriciated. Just purchased Final cut pro x and I have an external hard drive that I have some events on. FCPX will recognize the external hard drive but says there are no events in the external hard drive. I checked 2 other external hard drives as well and all three FCPX will not read the events that are in the hard drive.
Thanks
Brian

Brian, I notice that I have to have whatever drives connected before openeing FCPX; so sometimes when you plug in a USB3 drive or a Thunderbolt drive on the fly, even if though it mounts, it won't be recognized until you re-launch FCPX.
Beyond that, it's important to make certain that you name the two folders in the attached drive exactly: Final Cut Events, and Final Cut Projects, and they should be on the root directory of the connected drive(s). On all of my systems, if you have multiple drives connected with identical projects, FCPX actually picks one and warns you that there are two different identical projects and tells you which one it opened.
If you take the time to provide Tom with what he's asked, he is extremely helpful and will likely identify the issue.

Final Cut Pro Update - Old Projects & Events

Hi, Final Cut updated my folder structure (making it super confusing) and now I have a folder with a purple icon that has 4 stars that says "Macintosh HD's Projects & Events" and also a "Macintosh HD Old Final Cut Projects & Events" folder.
The "new" one is 315GB and the old one is over 500GB. Between the two I am now very low on harddrive space.
My question.... Can I delete the "Old" folder of projects & events? When I look at the new folder it appears to have everything in it, but I just wanted to make sure before I delected 500GB of projects.
Thanks,
Chris

Don't delete anything until the update process is completed and you are happy with the results.
A thing called Hard Links has occured that really uses little drive space.
It may appear that there are TWO large files but it's not really the case.

Final Cut Pro X crash problem on export.

Hello. Okay so I am running Final Cut Pro X Version 10.0.6 on a Late 2011 Macbook Pro 13-inch with 2.8 GHz Dual Core i7 processor, 4GB RAM. At the time of the export I am not running any other applications.
I had begun exporting in 1080p HD with Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) which kept repeatedly failing. However having lowered this to 720p HD with both 1280 x 720 and 920 x 720 resolution, and changing Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) to H.264, I am still without luck on my export.
The export runs for a while before completely freezing up and crashing Fina Cut Pro X entirely, at the moment it gets to around 41% before crashing.
I get a report telling me that it crashed on Thread 26. Here is a copy of the Thread 26 crash in case anyone out there can understand this:

Does Final Cut Pro X support all video files as did its prior version Final Cut Pro Studio?

Hi,
Use to have a Mac Pro and had Fina Cut Pro Studio. Now I have just got a new Macbook Pro (Lion), and have just purchased the new Final Cut Pro X from the App store. I am having problems importing 3gps files into FCP X. I never had a problem with the $1000 version of studio. Does the new FCP X have limitations on what video files are compatible with it? do I need to purchase additional plug-ins etc???
Ta
Zeb

Really depends on the specific file type you want to work with. FCP X does not support every single flavor of video FCP 7 did, so it's not a huge surprise if the file you're using is not supported. That said, there's plenty of free third party tools you could use to convert it to a regular QuickTime ProRes file that FCP X would accept. For example- http://www.squared5.com/ would most likely be able to load it. Try and let us know. And if that doesn't work please provide more details about the 3gps file you're using.

Problem with opening Final Cut Pro X

I had just moved the 'Final Cut Pro' folder with the events and projects from movies into my own folder. I also had just added another desktop (Dunno if that is part of the problem).
Since then, when I open FCP, it has a message saying 'The selected location is already in use.' 'The storage location "BlakeHay48" on this computer is already in use by "BlakeHay48" on "Blakes-iMac". To access the location, quit Final Cut Pro on "Blakes-iMac" or remove the location.' I pressed okay and then also found all of my projects and events had gone. I thought at first it could just be because I opened it in another desktop, even though that shouldn't happen, but then when I tried to create a project or an event it would say 'The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory'
Then I realised it could be because I moved the files, so I moved them back, but nothing changed. I have deleted the app and re-installed it, but nothing is working. Can someone please help me?
Thanks-

Thank you so much. Can't believe I didn't think to restart it. Thanks

I need to put final cut pro on another computer. I have the receipt via my itunes but I can't see what I need to be able to download it again? Can anyone help?

Can someone help. I've read the detail and have my order and invoice number but I can't seem to be able to find how to download fina cut pro onto another computer (it's on one and I have now taken that off and need to put it on another with a larger memory).
Anyone able to give me notes for a dummy?

Are you talking about FCP X? You just need to open the App Store application in the mac, login with the same Apple ID you used to buy the software, and click on "purchases".
If you mean legacy Final Cut, then you probably need to have the original disks, but you should ask in the Final Cut Studio forum.

I have just updated to Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 - I have updated Projects and Events on my external hard drives (off the File menu). It's says under several project 'missing file' - but they were all there working fine before I updated.

I have just updated to Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 - I have updated Projects and Events on my external hard drives (off the File menu). It's says under several projects 'missing file' - but they were all there working fine before I updated. I am working off 2 external drives - not sure if that would make a difference.

After the update each seperate connected drive should now have a seperate Library.
The older Projects and Events folders would have to be at the top level of those drives go be seen and updated.
Were all the necessary Projects and Events in the corrrct place before updating?

HT4740 How can I avoid or solve the problem of Final Cut Pro crashes when trying to Show Events Library?

When I try to Show Events Library in Final Cut Pro, it crashes each time. Please tell me how do I work around this problem?

Try creating a new (temporary) folder and putting all your events in there - then launch FCP X.
If you can open the Browser, then it's possible one or more of the clips in one of your events is corrupt. Close the app and move the events back into their original places one by one (re-starting FCP X each time). This will help you find the event which has the corrupt file in it.
If isolating the events has no effect, I suggest you trash your preferences.
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

Final cut pro x corruption after combining events

Hi,
I installed the trial of Final Cut Pro X 2 days ago to determine if it will work properly for me. It seems that I am getting sporadic corruption when merging events, which may turn out to be a show stopper.
I am doing small merges - 2-3 events with 2-3 short clips. In general it has been fine, except yesterday I got 2 clips correped during a merge, a crash of the app which corrupted a day, and just today 5 clips from a single merge got corrupted.
Note I using the FCPX event libray and dragging/dropping to move clips around.
Any ideas of why this may be happening and whether this is a known issue?
iMac 2.8 dual core, 4G, plenty if disk (260G free)
all of the latest OS patches as well as the latest FCPX.
Nothing else significant has been running concurrently.
If there are any missing details, please do let me know.
Thanks,
Gary

Hey Andy,
Thanks for the response. To start I am a complete newbie to FCPX and have had very limited exp in iMovie. The importing was terribly slow for iMovie and I never got around to actually editing. I have a pretty lenghty response below so as to provide details.
Workflow:
1) I had done an import of files from an archives as well as my iMovie directory (as I had some clips which were missed from my orginal import into iMovie). For iMovie, I had really just been building an collection of videos which were very disorganized. I had lots of events which were date1_1, date1_2, date1_3, date_2, date_3... So checking out FCPX, I figured I would group clips mostly by an event of MONTH YR, except where there was an actual event such as a birthday.
This really cleaned up my events. As a next step, I plan to further review and break out additional events.
2) workflow going forward (current plan anyhow) - please do let me know if you have a different recommendation
now - import new footage -> either put it into the generic MONTH YR event, or put into a new appropriately labeled grouping -> some time in the future actually do something with all of this video I have taken.
On a side note, it appears that I did not have corruption, but clips that had to be re-linked. I just did a re-import from iMovie or the camera archive and that seemed to do the trick. I understand, in the future I just need to re-link
Codec:
I have the optimized video selected, however, it was just taking too long on my computer so I had stopped the transcode on several occasions..
Location:
all on my primary drive - 4T 7200
Memory:
The cpu seems to be the bottleneck - uses 150% of my dual-core. The memory seemed to be okay, but I have ordered a 4G ram chip to replace one of my 2G to bring me to 6G.
I did have a crash during an import at some point and not sure about the impact on any files, so I have DELETED MY FCPX Events and am performing a new re-import. I will not lose anything significant as I had only been reorganzing the video. I do clearly have a I have updated the prefs to only optimize. The other options I will do adhoc.
After an import from iMovie, I will be importing from my 3 camera archives since not everything is in iMovie...so this will mean dupes. I know that FCPX will prevent dupes from a particular source, but now we are talking about 3 sources which will have duplicates. Any recommendations here?
Thanks,
Gary

Is there a way make Final Cut Pro X NOT open every event/project I have worked on at open?

I will admit, I am quite new to Final Cut Pro X, but have been a FCP user for years - this version is like learning to walk all over again.
Everytime I open FCP X, it loads every event/project I have ever worked on, and it takes a looooong time. Is there a way to have it open blank and then let me open only the Events I wish to work with?

Event Manager is only $4.99 but if you don't mind doing it manually, it will cost you nothing.
This Apple help article tells you how to hide the Projects and Events you don't want opening in FCP X
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4740
As usual it makes it sound quite complex but all it involves is making 2 folders which you name Final Cut Events - Hidden and Final Cut Projects - Hidden and dragging the project and event folders you don't want into them. (The exact name of the folders is not critical so you can choose your own if you wish).
When you want to see them again you drag them back into the original folders.
You should move the folders with FCP X shutdown.

In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section. After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just creat

In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section. After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just created on the new disk. It says the second document cannot be opened and to move one of these documents out of your Final Cut Events folder. It also says to avoid this problem, copy events from within Final Cut Pro, but that is what I did in the first place. What should I do to avoid the double opening conflict?

What exactly are you doing and what version are you using with OS X 10.8?

FCPX: In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?

In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?
An example: In Premiere Pro, the whole video is added to the timeline identified as used in their video library. Facilitating our work on a big project, not to repeat videos. You can do this in FCPX?

The way it works in FCP:
Working from the Timeline Index, you can see lists of all clips in the sequence and their location in the timeline.
You can also do a search (kevn) to narrow the results.
