VirtualCameraCard

I posted a way to create it some days ago.
Now a made a little app for that.

VCC creates a sparsebundle with has a folder structure like a standard camera card.
Normally movies created on computer, maybe on an HDR etc. can't be imported partially. So you will do your selects inside the FCPX event browser.
This can be a good workflow since in most cases you just work with a link to the original files and the size of your event (i.e. Original Media folder) is kept small.
In case you want to convert the media the Original Media folder will grow by the full size of the converted file even if you only need a few sections of it.
With VCC you can collect the movies you partially want to import on a sparsebundle.
FCPX will see this sparse bundle as a camera file. So it will allow to import/convert portions of the movies.

You can download it from here

Thank you so much from creating this app, Andreas!

Another really amazing utility! Thanks!

I've added an update.

The new version also allows symbolic links. This is way faster than copying files.
You can can use them when you know your media files stay in place and are not changed. Sparsebundle sizes also will be dramatically smaller.

I've also uploaded the small help file to read upfront.
