A major difference with Final Cut Pro X is this concept of a library. Libraries can be set to link items, and they can also set to be contained. How do you make a library in Final Cut Pro X? In this video, walk through how to create a library in Final Cut Pro X.
Final Cut 10 by default,…when you import footage,…it adds it to the library.…It's really important to know how to link it,…if that's how you're going to work.…Especially if you're working…in a shared environment.…Let's take a look at how that works.…I'm going to close my library here.…I'm just going to right click on it,…and close it.…I'm going to create a fresh library.…File menu.…New.…Library.…And library's where you're going to…store all your footage,…but you also have the ability to link edit.…You can work either way,…whichever you're comfortable.…
And you may be used to an editing system…like Avid, where it collects all your media.…Or a system like Premier where it doesn't.…I'm going to choose create a new library.…I'm going to put it on my drive with…the other media here.…I'm going to call it two import.…I'm going to say save.…And I'm going to import some media here.…I'm just going to click.…Final cut ten.…Let's go to that drive…down here under footage.…You'll see I've got some Go Pro clips.…
I'm just going to open that up there.…
