Duplicating for Archiving loses Keyword Collections was created by Doug Suiter
Hi all - I am very much looking forward to improved media Management coming to FCPX as I am sure it must (specifically the option to duplicate project with used media and handles)
In the meantime I still have to archive and am having some trouble. At the moment I take my master project and duplicate it using the "only used media:" option. The trouble is not all keyword collections seem to make it all the time.
At first I thought "well I mustn't have any clips with those keywords in my final project" but on closer inspection that wasn't the case.
For example, I have a clip call THE PROJECT with the keywords FROM DVD and TV SHOWS. I have a few seconds of it in the final edit.
When I duplicate the project, I opt to create a new event with used media only. In the new event the clip called THE PROJECT is in there, and there is a keyword collection called FROM DVD is there but TV SHOWS is not.
Any ideas?
EDIT AND SOLUTION: I have solved this issue even before I submitted it.
However I thought I would post it here anyway since I already wrote it out - and the answer may help someone.
The answer is that I had been applying keywords to only sections of the clip - keywords which really applied to the whole clip . If that section was not used in the edit, the keyword didn't come across as part of duplicating used media. Sorted

Glad you found the answer, and thank you for sharing it. Seems FCPX media management is quite logical after all ((-:
Now having used media with handles in a duplicated project absolutely is a basic feature that I think everyone would be happy to have. Keep filling in those feature requests and we will get there.
