How do i load edited projects into my project library from another drive? was created by alibali1701
Just edited 20 film in FCPx all about 6 mins long all on 1 x 250gb flash drive
Now i have another 10 to do but have no room on that drive.
So i have been using my new 2tb drive to do the next 10 films with the footage on that drive, but i need elements from the first 20 films ie; graphics, common film elements etc to be added to the new 10 films.
So I have copied all the footage, events and project folders from the 20 edited films over to my 2tb drive in a separate folder - ejected the 250gb drive (as i only have 2 thunderbolt slots and one is used for a 27 inch monitor on my macbook pro)
.......my question is how do i load all of the 20 films into my project library so i can see all of the 30 films at once so i can copy and paste form one film to another - is this possible? and withlout messing up lol

The folder structure is that on the root of the drive is a "Final Cut Projects" folder. Take all of the folder inside of that, on the flash drive, and copy them inside the same folder on the new drive. Same for the "Final Cut Events" folder. Simple as that. Then FCP X will see everything.
When FCP X first launches, it looks for those two folders. It won't look for projects or events any where else.
