Today I'm going to show you all the ways to manage your media in FCP, including how to consolidate media inside and outside your Final Cut Pro Library. Plus, I'll show you why sometimes "Copy files to library" is not an option and how to fix it.

Excellent tutorial! Practical, concise, and beneficial. Thanks!
You do an excellent job explaining the intricacies of FCPX, Motion and Pixelmator Pro Jenn. I have worked in TV post production since the late 1980's. We suffered a lot from the transition to digital video tape and problems with humidity, to the transition from linear to non-linear editing, bug ridden NLE's and computers that crashed constantly. There were good times too, but what I really want to express is what an incredible time it is for post production. Everything I am working with is fast and problem free. Everything just works. And now, I have you to help me out with the software when I need it. Thanks so much!
Thanks for making an often confusing process much easier to comprehend, great video!!
great tutorial
Clear explanation, Thank you 👍
Such a great video. Clear explanation and presentation!
Jenn, great content and so well explained. thanks!!
Thank you so much for another excellent and most useful tutorial. Scotland loves you!
Thank you, best Video i have Seen on this topic ❤
how come you do that ! I mean so much substance in such a simple style , I am amazed your tutorial is out of the ordinary , way ahead of the lot .
Good video, thanks.
Thank you
You're welcome
Great explanation! I have a question when I try to relink media that already consolidated to a new location, sometime I move my media from one drive to another, this cost me a lot time for relinking then, because the media files are so big. Can FCPX do this in faster way? Thanks!
It would be really nice if there were some way to "consolidate to a new destination". I currently have a problem with lack of disk space, and I've got into a situation where I have a library I'd like to archive but I'm worried that consolidation would fail for lack of space because of all the duplicates it would create. I hoped I might be able to consolidate to an external drive to escape this problem, but so far I've seen no evidence that can be done.
you are the BEST!... Question: Have you seen an issue with the timeline in FCP randomly scaling from your current working zoom to the widest scope, causing you to have to zoom in like 7x to get back to work? This has been Soooooooo Frustrating to me. Cheers! Craig
I have not seen this! Anyone else out there having this issue?
Hi Jenn, can I safely delete the original media? (I have a backup of the media) Or will it break the library?
You'll still be able to open the library but all your media will be missing and you'll have to relink the files.
@jennjagerpro I have a very specific question about Motion Generators and drop zones I was wondering if you can help with. I've called apple and searched all over but nothing.
The Desired Outcome:
A FCP Generator including drop zones where any clip dropped into the drop zone is automatically set to 50% speed
What I've tried:
In a Motion FCP generator project - create a dropzone, add media, add retime set speed, "clear" the media in the inspector tab. This leaves the set speed adjustment connected to the drop zone.
The Issue:
When I go over to FCP the set speed doesn't effect the clip I drop into the drop zone. I've even published the parameters and tried adjusting but nothing happens, the clip plays at normal speed.
Please Help 😫
I have major issues storing media from Final Cut Pro , hard drives on iMacs are tiny , so I have to store my projects / media on external drives , only to find that some media gets lost , so now I just work at a project until it’s finished , save the main finished master file and delete the rest , my projects are music videos , so take up major space on any drives , Final Cut Pro is far from simple in this respect.
Agree completely. Constantly running out of memory on a 2TB hard drive. I’m always troubled if there’s going to be enough hard drive memory to finish a project. Once finished, option to store it all on an external folder to likely never be opened or delete entirely. Always the later nowadays. Storing within the library just isn’t practical. Music video production.

I always store my media in external Drives, but Jenn's workflow is ideal if you're sending a project to another collaborator. Your storage problem might be linked to the render files created by FCP. If you're constantly amending an edit, render files don't get deleted automatically when you change them. So the storage size balloons outrageously. To fix this, I regularly delete the render folder in the Event folder, within the FCP library.
