Can You?

when using fcpx..can you make...a project and name it...let's say fc project all. and never make an other project....just new events? thank you

I think I know what you're asking, but you have it backwards. An event houses all of your assets, and a project is your actual timeline you create and edit on.

And yes, I suppose you could technically create just one event and only ever start new projects timelines. I'd imagine your event would get cluttered quickly though unless you are really anal about using Keyword and Smart Collections.

What would be your reason for this, just out of curiosity?

...thank you very much timfo ...lol you right i had it backwards....someone told me it would be faster that way...and by the way..should i keep events and projects on the system drive...and my media on my fast external thunderbolt drive?

Following on what timfo said, if you only had one event that you ever created and used, at some point said event would not only become cluttered, but the size of teh file would become so large and bloated that it would ultimately bring FCPX to a dead stop.

Keep Events and Projects off of your system drive. If you have a T'bolt drive, isn't that it's whole purpose? You'll be way better system performance using it for your Events and Projects. Media should be inside your Events, unless you have a reason not to. But yes, put all media, Events and Projects on that secondary drive, not on the System drive.

thank you benB very much...that helps me out a lot...Grailz and Timfo also...
