How do you deal with a ton of events? was created by Altitude
From my research, there’s no way to organize events. So what do you do when you have tons of events? I'm working for a gaming company called Apknite so I’m talking about a project that is a year-long with many days of shooting.
How do you keep that list manageable?

Rethink your organization strategy. What criteria are you using for the Events?

In FCPX, events should be used sparsely and infrequently. You can do a very large project without using *any* events except the single default event.
I worked on a two-year project encompassing 8,500 4k H264 clips, 20TB total material, 130 multi-camera interviews, and used only eight events.
Prior to that I did a project about half that size - roughly 4,000 clips, 10TB total, and used only *one* event.
The core of FCPX data organization is the database, which means rating and keywording material. Most anything you would use a "bin" or "event" for you can do with a keyword collection.
Unlike all other NLEs this can be done on clip *ranges* not just clips. The rated & keyworded material can be queried via powerful tools. Only after organizing it thusly do you add anything to a timeline.
