    FCPX runs on a 64-bit platform - THE MORE RAM THE BETTER!

    8GB minimum - 12-16GB is optimal

    Dual-Core (Minimum) - Quad-Core Processors very helpful

    A fast graphics processor - Post 2011 iMac, MacBookPro and Mac Pro should

    Always keep (and work with) your media on a separate drive than theFCPX application

    Close all other applications and running processes (when possible) while using

    OPTIMIZING YOUR SYSTEM

  • 8/10/2019 Final cut pro basic

    16/37

    FCPX uses a dual (2) database le system

    EVENTS : Store your media

    PROJECTS = Your edited projects

    PROJECTS always reference EVENTS - Media used in a PROJECT must belong to an EVENT or EVENT

    There is no limit to the number of events you can have

    There is no limit to the number of projects you can have

    Events are stored in the Final Cut Events folder

    Projects are stored in the Final Cut Projects folder

    Each folder is stored (by default) in your Movies folder on your MacHD

    Events and Projects can be re-located using FCPX, but should never be copied manually

    Files in these folders should never be changed, moved or re-named

    THE FCPX FILE SYSTEM

    The idea is that all of your media is stored in one place, so you never have to womissing les, assets* or project saves. (*If you allow FCPX to manage your me

    You do not have to periodically save your FCPX project. FCPX will do it for yautomatically and ensure that your edits and changes are saved in the event of a

    Final Cut has some very powerful features for organizing footage

    You can organize your imported footage by keywords and tags (words that descrcontent of the video clips)

    We can also batch rename our video clips within Final Cut for easy ltering and

    Only the best par ts of our footage can be rated as favorites and keyword taggeunwanted parts of our video clips.

    Bad video clips (shots you wont use) can be rejected without being deleted.
