Final Cut Pro HD | H•O•T Hands-On Training [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

1.

In the boot drive (the drive at the top-right corner of your Mac), create a folder called FCP Projects, if you haven't already done so in the last chapter when you installed the exercise files from the FCP HDHOT DVD to your computer. You can use this folder for the rest of the exercises in this book, as well as storing later, real-life projects.

Inside that folder, in addition to storing the files from this book, create a folder for every client, and inside each client folder, create a folder for every project from that client. Although your folders will be different from mine, inside that project folder put every file you create that relates to that specific project: Final Cut project files, memos, budgets and spreadsheets, audio files, LiveType and Sound Track projects, graphics files, and so on, everything except timecode-based media. ("Timecode-based media" is a fancy term that means all the stuff you capture from videotape.) You'll store this media on the second hard drive.

2.

On the second drive, create a folder named FCP Media, which will store media for every project. When the time comes to capture media, tell Final Cut to store all timecode-based media in this one single folder on the second drive. If you have more media than will fit on a single hard disk, create a media folder on every hard disk you plan to use to store media. Later, in Exercise 3, you'll learn how to tell Final Cut where to store this media.
