Moving event final cut pro X

Hi,
Does anyobody know how to event and projects to another computer in FCP X.
I've tried to copy all of my media files, events and projects directory to an external harddrive and use it in another computer.
But when I opened it in another computer, it didn't work.
In the old final cut studio, I usually just reconnect all the media files.
Any solution ?
Thanks.

FCPX is particular about where the events and projects live. They need to be at the top level of the hard drive (or in your Movies folder)  inside folders called "Final Cut Events" and "Final Cut Projects" respectively. This should allow FCPX to see your projects/events.
Note - you can also copy events and projects using FCPX itself.

  • IMovie shared drive events - Final Cut Pro Issue

    I've been trying to import my imovie events into Final Cut Pro X - couple of problems so far.
    1. My events on the mounted shared drives don't get imported
    2. When I look to save new events I only have the mac HD as the save location - doesn't show the external drive
    Oddly enough on both of the above, the events show up in iMovie as events on the shared drive, and I am allowed to share new events onto the external shared drive.
    Any advice on what I can do?

    Hi - still have this issue - sorry but has anyone been able to get around this?

  • Moving from Final Cut Pro 4.0 to Final Cut Pro HD

    Is Final Cut Pro HD much more difficult to use than Final Cut Pro 4.0? I ask because I have extensive experience using 4.0 but may apply for a job that requires knowledge of FCP HD. Is it fairly easy to get up to speed on FCP HD?
    Thanks!

    If you mean going from FCP (V4) to FCP HD (V4.5) you will not see any major difference in day to day editing, but it is much more stable.
    It is a free upgrade and you should really be there already

  • Moving my Final Cut Pro X events and projects to portable HDD, want to access them from both my iMac and MacBook Pro.

    I recently moved my video files over to a portable HDD and performed a clean Lion installation on the iMac. Instead of moving my files back, I want to keep them on the portable HDD so that I can not only access them via the iMac but also on my MacBook Pro when I'm out of the house. How do I go about setting this up?

    Simple as that? Thanks, guess it wasn't at complicated as I expected.

  • Moving to Final Cut Pro/Studio from Final Cut Express 4.0.1

    Here's the basic questions...
    This is a full on different software app than the FCE on my machine right, not an upgrade?
    Can I run them both independent of each other and still move some of my FCE projects over to FCP? Like untill I get my hands around FCP.
    As always thanks in advance.

    Yes, totally new software
    FCE projects will migrate to FCP but once in FCP there is no way to go backwards

  • 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

  • Linking Final Cut Pro X Old Files to without moving them.

    I installed a new SSD drive on the DVD bay on my mac book pro computer. Now I have internally two Hard Drives.
    Both are bootable but, I don't want to use the original one because the new one is a lot faster to work with Final Cut or any other software.
    I have all of my events and projects in my movie folder located on the "original 750 GB hard drive".
    How can I link my original files on the 750 GB to appear directly on the SSD drive WITHOUT MOVING them.
    Everything I read with the Final Cut Pro X says information about moving the files says that I am unable to move them.
    I realize it's a new feature on FCPX that you lose from Studio.
    Any replies would be appreciated.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks again for your generous time. I will try and be a bit more clear in my descriptions. Writing is a bit more difficult to explain. I installed the new SSD drive in additional to the original drive because i wanted to edit on the new SSD drive as it is faster. However, when I installed the SSD drive all of my original FCPX files were still on the "original" drive. Will your suggestion allow me to keep the files on the 750 HD "original hard drive" yet edit using the faster SSD drive.
    For your suggestion:
    Will FCPX will "detect" that modification of the location of those folders and will be still able to see it directly in FCPX
    Thanks

  • Migrate iMovie 10 Events to Final Cut Pro X

    Can I migrate iMovie 10 events and clips to Final Cut Pro X? 
    When I search on migration, the posts talk about migrating the movies, not events or clips.     However, I want to migrate my iMovie 10 library of 1000's of events and 10,000's of clips sitting in iMovie 10 to Final Cut Pro X.   And if you can't migrate, is the expection that you re-catalog (associate with events, mark favorties, etc) five years of clips in Final Cut Pro X?
    -- Mark

    Tom, thanks.   I tried moving about 100 clips to a project and then within iMovie chose send to FCP.   It locked up iMovie.   But even using that method, since you have to move clips and not events, it forces to you recreate your events with the associated clips one event at a time.
    In other words, the workflow is create a iMovie project with same name as event in iMovie.   Move all clips from event to the project.   Sent the project to FCP.   Create an event and move the clips to the event in FCP.   Tedious (not really practical) for 1000's of events!
    So what if I want to abandon all my iMovie events and associated meta data.   How do I just import all of the clip files buried in the iMovie folder short of Show Package Contents and drilling down to each .MOV file?

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • How do i get final cut pro x to recognize my time capsule in event library

    how do i get final cut pro x to recognize my time capsule in event library?

    Yeah I'm getting the same issue.  I purchased a new Mac Mini yesterday purely to use the new FCPX, and now on day 1 I'm already running into problems... please don't make me switch to Premiere.
    Set up the computer with external yesterday, never set anything to Time Machine.  Here's a screenshot of the drive, formatted on Mac OS Extended (Journaled):
    And here's a screenshot of FCPX not recognizing the drive:
    Apple please respond to this post, would really appreciate some help here troubleshooting. 

  • I have a fairly new iMac wI now have iMovie events and Final Cut pro events that are duplicates.  Does that mean that all my video is copied onto my hard dive twice?

    If I have video in imovie and final cut pro X, does that mean there are two copies of the video, one for each piece of SW?  If so, how do I get rid of the imovie events and keep only the Final Cut Pro X events (video)?  I don't want multiple copies of the same video stored on the hard drive.

    If you import to FCP directly from the Camera or from a camera archive, you would likely import choosing Optimized Files which would go to a FCP event that is in ProRes 422 codec. This would be in addition to your iMovie Event which would import using the Apple Intermediate Codec. So you would have two copies of the same information. An AIC copy and a larger ProRes copy.
    However, if you use FILE/IMPORT/iMOVIE EVENT LIBRARY, FCP will not duplicate the event files from iMovie. It will treat them as referenced files, and will point to the iMovie Event files in the reference. So there is no duplication. You will be editing Apple Intermediate Codec files in FCP.
    However, FCP will create Event folders. In addition to the reference information, these will contain thumbnail files that are compatible with FCP, stabilization and analysis files that are compatible with FCP, as well as any intermediate render files that are associated with the Event.
    So in this case, there is no duplication of the large event files, but there is some duplication of the small thumbnail files.
    I have several terabytes of iMovie Events, which are now all available in FCP. Believe me, I would know if they were duplicated because all my disks would be full.
