FCPX - library (deletion of files)

I am changing a film in FCPX. I'll try to explain my situation before asking...

-All the files (H.264), since the shooting of this movie are stored in an external hard drive.

-J' have only transcoded the best takes to ProRes use MPEG Streamclip and also they stored in the same HD.

-J' only imported the ProRes files into my movie library. Whenever I imported a file, I selected on the tag files: 'copy to the library.'

-The film as a whole is in a library in the same HD (with H.264 and the ProRes).

Now my HD is short of space. My questions are...

1. since I just imported the ProRes files to my movie library, remove all my HD H.264 files? (btw I backed up on another hard drive).

2. given that all imported media in the library of my film has been "copied in the library," if I copy this library in a larger HD, that would be enough to continue to work with my movie? I want to say, because everything is copied in the library is as an independent file with the whole movie and I wouldn't need since the other HD ProRes files?

3. I remember once received a warning from FCPX on my HD space (at this time, I think I had about 150 GB free), so what's the minimum amount of space in a HD than FCPX needs to work properly?

Thanks in advance (and sorry for the grammar).

Copy the complete library to an external one and it should perform exactly like the original.

Test before you delete other things.

Be considered complete readers to 85-90% of its capacity.

FCP X can do its own transcoding to ProRes format.

Most of the time that h.264 works in FCP X without transcoding.

Have you tried?

    original title:

    I deleted the files in computer music but they always appear in the media player library. When I try to remove/delete, nothing happens. run convenience store and he said that my library is corrupt. How can I fix it? I want to just erase all the library song! They do not even play because I already deleted files from computer!

    Hello

    1st solution of Tim De Baets:

    "You probably need to reset the library to get rid of the files in the library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. »

  • Impossible to delete the files from the Windows Media Player library

    Cannot delete files from library

    There are files in my library that I deleted the files, but the items still appear in my library. An example would be the items stored in the folder 'Public '.  When I right click on the file and choose 'Remove', nothing happens.  Any suggestions on how to get these files is no library WMP?  I tried already to 'Restore the library' and I also tried "sfc/scannow", which did not find any problem.

    It seems to be a corrupt library file.  In any case of the deletion and re-creation of who?

    Thanks in advance for any given input.  If any other detail is necessary, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • FCPX library-media

    Not new to editing, but fairly new to FCPX, I turned on about a dozen projects and try to develop the best workflow for my type of work.  I shoot two types of videos, 1 camera and camera 2-3, on 50-50.  I learned that unlike FCP7 I can link media or bring media in the project through the 'copy' instead of link selection.

    QUESTION 1: After I imported media (and he therefore copied the media to the folder of file FCP project 4 balls, and then remove the media player where the original media was?)

    QUESTION 2: If I use the method of the link, after I close the project and open a different project, whose media are on yet a third disk, delete the original media player as long as I'm not opening this original project?

    QUESTION 3: Is there a way to have this kind of configuration...

    • OS DRIVE (SSD) hosts the library for all projects and all projects, photos, media files, etc. is on DRIVE 1
    • DISC 1 (USB3 SSD) includes all media of these projects, photos, videos, and other media, etc.
    • DISC 2 (USB3 SSD) has all the files rendering of the above

    If the highest possible, how we implemented in FCPX and will that make the 4 small ball library file, or will it still be fat?

    QUESTION 4: If I use the section "copying" to all media files and imported media and had started to edit and made all the tasks are complete, close a library folder of projects within FCPX and then after the closure of FCPX, can move the file to another HD (say a SSD), which has a directory of FCPX LIBRARY with the same name on the original drive and then open the project and start working on it and then move the file back to the original disc LIBRAY and continue editing.  This allows the project to be edited by different people on different computers.  In other words, some libraries projects are located in a folder and move from machine to machine via external portable drives to SSD USB3.

    QUESTION 5: What is the best time to implement 'proxy files' in FCPX to media Import or after the media has been imported from the top menu bar?

    Thanks in advance for all those who wish to take the time to help a pro acting as an amateur, while trying to learn FCPX.

    1 should work.

    2. you keep saying project, but I think you mean library. I hope you mean library. If so, then Yes.

    3. Yes. I don't know what you mean by the 4 ball library file. If you mean the library on DISK OS, then Yes, it remains relatively low. Don't know what you get you're looking to put the files of rendering in DRIVE 2.

    4 depends on where you copied media. If it is inside the library and you pass the library back, it will work, but the copy process will be very long if you have a large number of media. The usual procedure is to have two identical systems with the same name of library and media stored in a file on each system. To move updated information back a transfer library is used. It is a library containing all of the project (using this in the terminology of the FCP) and is used to transmit the information to the other system. Once it is passed to the other person, they integrate it in their library and throw transfer library.

    5. no difference. Create a proxy support when you need it. If you know you'll need, you can create when importing, just make sure that the process of copying and transcoding is complete.

  • delete difficult files?

    I have my MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, end 2013) I can't delete files.  They were created in the form of archive Machine local time when the regular destination was not available.

    When I discovered them I tried to move to the trash and empty.  The files have been copied to the trash can, not moved, so I have to find a different way.  I could get all together in a single folder, "TrashMe", in my userspace at home.  I don't know much about UNIX, but I tried sudo rm, rmdir, etc..  I have deleted enough that is not longer archives of Time Machine, but much remains.  I looked down through the folder structure and found files Crashplan downstairs.  CrashPlan support helped me to get rid of people, but there's more that I can't remove.  I get error messages, some of which I'll show you.

    In the Finder, I select TrashMe, and read the information shows "You can read and write" and these users have these permissions

    everyone reading & writing

    Ritch (me) reading & writing

    everyone reading & writing

    I changed the permissions as shown, then chose to apply to the included items.  However, this does not work.  In TrashMe are files like this

    I have no access to these files in the Finder.  In the Terminal I can ls and cd my way through the file structure.  I find structures like

    Trash me/MobileBackups_2015-10-11-203305/Computer/2015-10-10-041640/Volume/System/Lib rary/Core Services / file: / / / users/ritch/TrashMe/MobileBackups_2015-10-11-032838/computer/2 015-10-09-080851/Volume/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/

    I think what happened is Time Machine, maybe interact somehow confused with Crashplan, created from the archives of my system files and system files have special protection so that users can't accidentally erase them.  Time Machine could recognize it as an archive, so there probably way to remove the files, but I mutilated the file structure is no longer resembles a archive.

    I think there must be a way to do this in the Terminal.  Can someone please suggest lines of command that I should type to delete these files?  There is I think of the tens of thousands of files, so please give me recursive forms

    You can connect as the root Administrator and delete the theme probably.

    Good luck.

    Hi malcolm_henry,

    From what you describe, you receive an error message when you run OverDrive and attempt to transfer the music files on your SONY reader, are - this correct?

    If so, the issue is probably with OverDrive, and you should contact their support of clarification on what means the error message:

    Hello Deltrotterc,

    While the location you identified contains temporary information (cache) used by the Photos in the form of images app although cached which can be removed without compromising your data, it will be recreated by approx. generally cached data Photos will be published and created the application needs or needs more of these data.

    Therefore, it is generally better allow an application manage its information caching unless the app works wrong somehow, or the cached files are taking up a very large amount of space it takes for other purposes.

    How to view duplicates in windows media player to delete these files

    Hello

    If you have duplicates in Windows Media Player library, you can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Step 1:

    To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.

    3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  • How can I delete locked files to external hard drive

    I use an external hard drive to back up my laptop.  I did a number of full backups using PC Backup Pro.  I find that I am ending up with a number of files that have names like "2bfee8a4e34dc7b2bb247207".  All of these issues appear to be Windows/MS Office program files.  I do not need them taking place on my external hard drive and delete.  Some of the icons folder contain also see a lock on the top of the file and not others.
