![]() ![]() In my experience, I had to select the clips I wanted to reimport in the browser first, before selecting the function in the menu. Connect the HDD containing the camera-card-folders to the computer and choose File > Import > Reimport from Camera/Archive. Later, when you want to re-link the missing media, open the Library inside Final Cut Pro X. ![]() NOTE: Opening a library-bundle with the finder and playing around inside may damage it and render it unusable! Try at your own risk! (Thus deleting all the media FinalCutProX copied off the cards.) When you open up the library you can still work in Proxy mode, if you have transcoded Proxies before or even in normal-mode, if you have transcoded to Optimised Media. Navigate to the one containing the media you are after and look for a Original Media folder inside it. You will see a folder for every Event in your FinalCutProX library.įinal Cut Pro X Library bundle and contents You can now peek inside the library-bundle. Now close Final Cut Pro X, right- or control-click the library file and select “ Show package contents”. If you want to do that you need to physically import the footage into Final Cut Pro X first (doubling the storage needs temporarily), then let it transcode to Proxy and/or Optimised Media. NOTE: You can’t transcode footage to Proxy or Optimised Media while its still on camera cards. Now you can organise the media inside Final Cut Pro X using all its tools.īecause no media is inside Final Cut Pro X‘s storage location or Library it will be extremely small and can later be easily be backed up alongside the footage for editing at a later date. By interrupting the copy process, Final Cut Pro X still refers to the videos in their original location. Rinse and repeat until you have imported all your media in that way.īecause the way Final Cut Pro X works it has created aliases linking to the media on the card in its storage location. Head over to the Background Tasks window by pressing command+9, look for Importing Media and click the little “x” next to it to stop the import. Close the ingest-window (if you don’t have the option Close window after starting import ticked). (Alternatively just select the clips you want to import). Select “Import all” to start the import process. Select a folder containing a backed-up copy of a camera card. Press command+I to open the import window. I put some thought to the problem and came up with a neat workflow to accomplish something like that and came up with this: He was not sure if the material would ever be edited, but he wanted to get an idea of what he’d got. Remember: when ingesting from cards, Final Cut Pro X copies the footage from the cards, and “Leave Media in Place” cannot be ticked in the import window. If he would ingest the material into Final Cut Pro X, his storage needs would have beed doubled. He wanted to use Final Cut Pro X to log and keyword the footage. Recently I had a back-and-forth with someone on Facebook who was handed a couple hundred gigabytes of camera-cards backed up to one or more hard drives. ![]() Check out the first part and the second part for some tips and tricks you might not know yet.Ī Possible Logging Workflow – Without Doubling Your Storage Needs This is the third and last of my series about Apple Final Cut Pro X and Camera Media. ![]() By Florian Gintenreiter January 28 th, 2019 ![]()
