Best way to offload a FCP Library
Hello -
I'm a grade above novice when it comes to editing and a complete noob when it comes to editing organization.
I'm finished with a project and want to offload it to an external drive.
Before I consolidate the library media - I know there's an option to delete generated library files. I'm still uncertain what each of these functions do.
Should I delete all Rendered files, Optimized Media and Proxy Media before Consolidating and exporting? What does that mean exactly? Will the timelines in the project be fine? will the original media still be in the package contents?
Thanks so much!
