Join Diana Weynand for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating a disk image as a contained workspace, part of Final Cut Pro X v10.1.x: Effective Storytelling.
- As a media artist, you may want to hang on to absolutely…every clip you shot, and I recommend you do.…That's called archiving your footage.…And one of your drives somewhere…should contain everything you shot,…at least until you've finished editing the project.…But why drag all that footage around with you…if you're not going to use it to tell your story?…Instead let's create a virtual drive for your story footage…that will let you focus on one story at a time.…In Final Cut Pro, whenever you create a New Event,…it's added to the list of other events also on that drive.…
Now, you could hide this and work with an external drive,…but the same thing would happen, whatever events are…on that external drive would appear underneath.…The same thing happens in the Project Library,…if there are projects created,…you can't really hide them all that well.…I'm going to quit Final Cut Pro, and show you a way to focus…on just one project at a time, it's really a great tip.…The first thing we're going to do is get information…
