Need To change the location in which my projects refer to the media files

I recently capped out my 750 gb hard drive. I didn't think i had that much stuff only to realize that throughout all of my projects i have been using the "Make copies of media" when importing option. now i literally have a copy of every video file on my mac and its taking up so much room. is there anyway to change this option so it refers to the original files instead or is my only real option to redo all my projects?

I dont really follow you in your first two lines but i am using version 10.0.5
Should I update to the latest version. thanks fore the response!
It seems as if you have two copies of the media on your Mac??
You only need one copy of the real media.
It's easy enough to move from one folder to another and re-connect.
If your drive is the system drive it would be wise to employ a dedicated media drive and place all your real media there.
Updating to FCPX 10.1.1 requires two things:
1. Mavericks installed on your Mac.
2. An understanding of how the new Mediai Management system works.
In your case there is a lot to do before updating.
I'd suggest sorting your current issue first.

  • Changing the location to which iphoto & albums are stored/saved

    how do I change the location to which iphoto stores photos and albums including all events rather than my computers hard drive without loosing any information?
    thanks

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Regards

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

  • How can I keep the edited video which in project into Libray for re-edit ?

    How can I keep the edited video which in project into Libray for re-edit later ??
    As i used i movie 06 before....
    after i imported the videos in to the library, then i can drag the videos to the timeline(now is project)
    then edit it.
    After that i can just drag all the timeline clips which is edited to the library.So I can keep it for next time if i wanna re-edit.
    But Now if did all the editing at the library clips then drag to project, i can not drag the project clips back to library, so how can i keep it for my editing safty?
    I do not wanna to edit again the same clips from the library!!! as i need to edit many different short clips together then export to individual videos, and i may need to re-edit.
    or i can keep the edited video in project, then i can selected the clips which i willing to export, the rest video who in the project will not be export at the same video? I m wondering....
    please help!!! Urgent!!

    Just keep the project. Then you can just duplicate the project and make the next set of changes as needed. By duplicating the project, you are not duplicating the event, just the links to the event library.
    This way you are not eating up disk space.
    Does that help?

    Plz advice.Thanks in advance

    This forum is dedicated to topics related to custom application development or deployment with Crystal Reports in .Net. This includes full versions of Crystal Reports as well as those versions of Crystal Reports bundled with Microsoft Visual Studio .Net.
    As you do not want to do any coding, this query is in the wrong forum. However, in most versions of Crystal Reports, you can look up the database connection information by simply opening the report in the CR designer. Then go to the database menu and select "Set Datasource Location..."

  • Why am I unable to delete the default track (which seems to act as the master, right?) after making a rough mix?  Is it possible to delete the default track after having rendered a mix?

    Why am I unable to delete the default track (which seems to act as the master, right?) after making a rough mix?  Is it possible to delete the default track after having rendered a mix?  I did a rough mix and now cannot change the song as the tracks that were a part of the rough mix seem to remain in the song even though I mute the tracks for a new mix.  For instance, I played and recorded a different bass line.  Muted the original, but when trying to create the new mix I can hear the original bass line even though I have muted that track.  It seems to remain in the previous master (default) track.  Please send help.  Thank you.

    Before answering your question, you have to make sure you understand the difference between the different track types in GarageBand.
    Tracks, you record your music on
    There are three types of those Tracks.
    MIDI Tracks (aka Software Instrument Tracks)
    Audio Tracks (aka Real Instrument Tracks)
    Drummer Track (only one per Project)
    Global Tracks
    These are the Tracks that can be shown/hidden at the top of the Tracks Area for specific purposes.
    Arrangement Track
    Movie Track
    Transposition Track
    Tempo Track
    Master Track
    This Track can also be shown/hidden in the Tracks Area. Please note, you cannot delete that Track, only hide it, similar to the Global Tracks
    Regarding the Tracks you record your music on,  you can delete any of those. It doesn't matter if you created them or there are part of a Template (maybe that  is what you refer to as the default track). Once you delete the last Track, the "New Track Window" will pop up to add a new track.
    I will explain all that in much more detail in my manual "GarageBand X - How it Works".
    Hope that helps

  • When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer.  It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed.  The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer.  Any thoughts?

    If you create a metadatatype with a single metdata block, and you reference that in your vm/cm cell attribute using a *one* based index, Excel seems to see the link and it honors it when saving the spreadsheet.
    So, I ended up with something like:
    <c ... cm="1"/> (I'm dealing with cell metadata, but the concept is equivalente to value metadata)
    <metadataTypes count="1">
      <metadataType name="MyMetaType" .../>

    <cellMetadata count="1">

    To use the hotspot for any of those devices, I believe you have to switch to a postpaid account and plan. You can see the pricing for the available postpaid plans under the "Shop" area of the website.
