Join Ashley Kennedy for an in-depth discussion in this video Managing your projects, part of Final Cut Pro X 10.2 Essential Training.
- In the previous movie…we talked about some media management issues…regarding our clips and events and libraries…and these are all things that we need…to build our projects.…Now we'll be talking about how to manage…our projects which can help us organize…our own edit or collaborate with others…as well as efficiently archive our program.…Alright, so the first thing that I wanna talk about…is duplicating our project.…To do this, we just right-click on the project…and choose Duplicate or cmd+D.…And when you do this, it creates an exact copy.…
No media has been copied.…We're just copying pointer files here.…So we're just copying a project.…I can then load this project, go on to edit it…and then the original project remains intact.…Now this is generally what you should do…at the end of everyday editing…so that you have versioned copies of your project…from day to day.…So, in short, this is just making copy…of your sequence for versioning.…Now, I want to talk about something…within this project though…and it's right here.…

4/29/2015Learn how to build and refine your story with the powerful editing toolset in Final Cut Pro X 10.2. In this course, author Ashley Kennedy gets you comfortable with each aspect of the editing process in Final Cut. She begins with a Quick Start chapter to quickly take you through an entire project from start to finish, and then dives deeply into each step of the post-production process—from preparation and organization, to editing and refining, to audio and effects, to media management and exporting. Each stage of the postproduction workflow is explained thoroughly and concisely, and uses real-world examples from both narrative and documentary workflows.
