the more i learn about the inner workings of this screwy program, the more agitated i get! We have a very specific workflow here at work. we save all of our project files to a server so we can share fcp 7projects. Im so confused about this.

@allinthemind2006 #FCPX is not, yet, designed to share project files the way #FCP7 is. While you can store - and access - both Projects and Events from a server, the easiest way to manage them is to use Event Manager X to make Events and Projects active/inactive before opening them in FCP X.

Hi Larry. Enjoying the tutorials very much. TY SO much. Q: Is there a play list for these so I can watch them in the intended order?

[LarryJordanFCP]

@MyCrummyApartment There's a playlist now thanks to your suggestion. And, yep, they're in order. Enjoy

I'm currently 3 mths in to a rtw trip. I have filled 3 hard drives with footage and want to start archiving projects.

I'm thinking of using dvd's to do this, dividing the High Quality Media files onto several dvd's if required. Is this enough, or must I also save events?
