Dear Mr. Jordan.

I´m a German guy (30) who has the intention to change pro FCP7 to version X.

Your tutorials are the best I´ve ever seen. Although my English is just school-English I understand nearly everything.

You explain detailed but fast (GREAT!) and you do the very organized.

Thank you very much for your work,

Alexander

I'm running an iMac with only one hd, : 1)why do you not recommend putting your media on the same drive as the boot drive? 2)in respect to your answer to my first question would creating a partition on this drive solve this issue?

Larry,

It looks to me like FCP X wants to re-save my imported media to a different location. What if I have already imported my footage to my hard drive (via SD card reader) in a desired folder and that's where I want it to stay? I tend to organize my footage in a structure like this movies>editing>eventname_date>­raw.

Is there a way to stop FCP X from copying my footage to a second folder when it's already in the desired location?

I remember film strip from my 8 mil days.

Hey Larry,

I apologize for my lack of knowledge towards computers, but I was wondering if you could tell me how to create a 2nd/ 3rd drive. I have FCPX and my only option for a place to save something is under Macintosh HD.

Thanks
