Copying or not copying media into the Final Cut library
I'm editing a movie which has a 15GB video file. It resides on my hard drive, so I don't need another copy of it within the project, so I import it without copying to library, but after that, I want all media I put in, like stills and plugins, to be stored in the library so that they are always there. Is it possible to tell Final Cut not to import the giant file, but to import everything else?
That is, if I turn that feature on and off in Settings, does it work as intended depending on the setting? Or can I leave it set to store all media in the library, but then import an individual file without copying it, but without having to go into Settings to change the Import setting?
