we are in a very fluent editing community, where we all work at home on the same projects with different versions and just mail them to each other to combine results (copy-paste timelines etc).
So far FCP7 what we always did was this:
- create a master directory + structure for the project on a drive
- copy all content in there (clips, grafx, audio, motionprojects)
- set capture scratch also into this directory
- work, save project, send project.fcp via e-mail or ichat or skype
NOW FCPX it seems a different beast with events and stuff. So did anyone find a good way yet.
I understand that the events will hold my footage, so as long as I keep that in the master-dir it will stay there and be refernced only.
But the project seems to always go to MacHD/user/Movies/FCPprojects
I cannot tell FCPX to save the project into my projectdirectory on my videoscratch or an external.
i can later duplicate the project (with or with out events and such) , but it is an extra step and i am not sure if it is a save one.
i do not see the "MOVE Project" command, which is referred to in the help-file.
So anyone try a workflow for several people yet? to me it seems the simple mailing of a project will break the event-connections (i am alone today, so i can´t even try with others right now...so maybe i am just freaking
)
