Best way of organising my project in FCP
Hi guys,
We’re very lucky to be traveling full-time, and I’m putting together a film of our adventures. I usually use FCP (Final Cut Pro) for YouTube videos and reels, which are nothing more than 10 to 15 minutes long. However, this project covers 29 countries—or a large portion of them—with hundreds of clips totaling around 4.2 TB.
I’ve sorted and named each clip, and they’re organized by country, so I can find what I’m looking for quite quickly.
What would you recommend as the best way to put all of this together in FCP? I’ve created a new library and have already made 15-minute films on Scotland and Norway, which mostly consist of drone and driving footage with a soundscape. These used hundreds of clips, and I want to tackle Italy next.
What’s the best way to organize all of this without bloating the library or slowing my MacBook Pro M2 (2022) down?
All clips are stored on external hard drives, and I don’t import them when creating an event.
