Just a simple question cleaning out the old event and wow! so much info here!

I have too many events showing. What do I do with the finished events so they don't show in the fcp window? fcp10.0.8
Thanks, Keep it simple, I am an old fart an just know enough to get by.

Hi Kim, welcome to the forums.

You really should not be using such an antique version of FCP X. We are at 10.4.2 now, and the application has changed a lot since 10.0.8. So my advice would be to update FCP X to the latest version first. Updating is free, so this should not be a problem.

Once you have updated the app, post back and we will show you how to make your FCP X Libraries lean and clean.

I don't know exactly the version of FCPX where they switched to the current "library format".
Maybe an 'intermediate' version is needed.

working on upgrade. Have to see son about that. I may figure it out with the libraries on my own. I have so many events in there... very confusing... but i am old lol

The problem with going from 10.0.8 to 10.4.2 is that you will need to upgrade the OS to High Sierra and right now that would not a good idea, HS is buggy, has a few holes here and there, even though the mothership is working on Mojave, it is still publishing beta's for high sierra, one posted lasted night...

Although the benefits of 10.4.2 are huge, worth the effort in the end...

All the Macs at my home, TV station, and friends, none are having any major issues with HS. Can you specify what the multitude of bugs are?

OS betas are released into the initial release of a new OS version, that's normal, not unusual, nothing to read in to that.

ok, upgraded computer, fcp, motion, and compressor. I used new fcp for a week now. I have almost got it but still a little? confused? with new files ect. I did an import for a new project yesterday and it went where I did not want it to go?? Love the new compressor!!! so fast!! 16gigs of ram is really helping the speed. thanks
