I've had some folks ask me some questions about moving their projects from the local computer that they're using to an external hard drive. And in this case we're talking about Final Cut Pro X. Now what I have open is a project, it's called my film project. I've got some clips that I've imported and I've put them on the timeline. So this is kind of a the start of an edited piece that I want to work with. But what I want to do is create a library on my external drive that's going to contain my projects from now on. So this actually this video projects library is on the internal hard drive of this computer. Let me minimize Final Cut real quick just to show you that my external drive here, let me just close this and open it up again so that I show you that it's an external USB hard drive. There are no libraries on this particular drive at the moment. So what we're going to do is create a library to contain our project and then we're going to transfer that media over to that library. So what we're going to do first in Final Cut is go to the file menu and we'll choose new library. And again we want to make sure that we put this on our external device. It's called video editing. So here's that drive. I'm just going to simply create a new project called or a new library called my portable projects and we'll click on save. And so notice what happens we have another library created in the events folder. There's there's nothing there and it's ready to import media. Here is where our internal hard drive is and this is where the project exists. So how do I get this project to my external drive and into that library. It's really quite simple. What I want to do is make sure that I have my project icon highlighted here. Notice that these are the media icons. But this is the project icon with the slate at the top. I'll simply click down and hold the mouse and drag it to the events folder on the portable drive on the external hard drive and let go. And it's going to ask me about copying the items. Now I don't need to worry about optimize media. I don't need to worry about proxy media. It's just going to copy the project and the associated media files in this project. So I'll click on OK. And in the progress bar you'll see this go up and in this case it's very short because there's there's small clips. A bigger project would take a longer time but it's done. It's 100%. Now if you look at this event folder on the internal hard drive and click on this event folder on the external hard drive they are identical. And if you hide Final Cut Pro you'll see that my portable projects that library is now on the external hard drive. I can eject this drive and move on. Actually I need to quit Final Cut Pro before I do that. But anyway I can eject this drive once I'm done using Final Cut Pro and then I can edit from this drive. Hope that helps all you folks who had questions about moving your projects in Final Cut Pro and we'll see you next time.
