Final Cut Pro X for Final Cut Pro 7 Editors

Events, Source Media, and Render Files

Final Cut Pro X oers robust media management based on unique identiers that are

added to every clip upon import. Final Cut Pro X also features a new set of rules for

connecting media and render les.

• When you import media into Final Cut Pro X, you associate it with an event, either

by creating a new event or by choosing an existing one. This is similar to selecting a

logging bin in Final Cut Pro 7.

• When you import media into Final Cut Pro 7, you set a scratch disk location to indicate

where video and audio les are stored.

• When you import media into Final Cut Pro X, you can choose to store your media in

one of two ways. If you set the Media Storage setting to “Copy les into,” your media

is copied into the library or external folder of your choice. If you select “Leave les in

place,” the media remains in its original location. Either way, the media can be stored

on internal disks, external disks, or network volumes, including shared storage.

• In Final Cut Pro 7, you set a location for render les, thumbnails, and audio waveforms.

In Final Cut Pro X, all of these items are stored in the library le. This simplies media

management and eliminates the possibility of such les getting disconnected or lost.

Interface

Final Cut Pro X has an intuitive interface that you can customize by enabling and

disabling dierent types of visual displays and lists.
