After editing in FCP for about an hour, editing problems begin, like frozen image or inability to add titles/transitions. I think this may be caused by external transitions/titles, which I rarely use.
How do I delete external plugin Transitions and Titles for FCP 10.8.1? I looked into FCP's Contents (see image) but can't identify which folders/files I must delete.
iMac 24″, macOS 15.0
If you import your media using the leave in place function, the media will remain outside the library. In library properties in FCP you can assign a folder location to store the media. In the same place you can assign the location to store the cache bundle. If you set it in the folder as the library it will be outside the library, immediately adjacent to it with the same name.
Glad to hear I'm copying Library to Library correctly. I will be doing more in the future.
I have two 5 GB LaCie USB-C Rugged mechanical HDs. Can't tell if SSDs but formatted APFS.
Created original media and Cache folders. Optimized and proxy deleted; doubt I had any.
Always disable rendering.
Library now 9 GB. Vacation for 2 weeks but will see if editing issue goes away when I return.
Thanks
Both projects were newly created. Some video clips were from another library but not all. This is the index/menu
Is your media stopped inside the library? For large projects is probably best not to as the library gets large and unwieldy.
Do you mean am I rendering? No
Sorry. I meant stored in the library. When you import the media are the files left in place or are they copies into the library bundle?
That does seem strange. What’s in The Ward Family Tree event? Where these projects brought over from another library?
The image is freezing again but the sound plays
That’s just the keyword collections. What’s in the browser itself? Are there clips there?
Reinstalling FCP won’t do anything. I see two clips there that are also in project timeline.
Also, be *very* careful when stepping inside the library package. Don't delete, copy or move anything before confirming here on the forum.
How exactly did you get clips from one library into the other? While inside FCP in the browser? In FCP by importing? Or in the Finder inside the library package?
I opened both projects in FCP, copied the clips in one and pasted them into the new project
Phew! Glad to hear it. With your screenshots of inside the library package I was worried you doing the copies in there.
I would not keep that much material let alone 263 GB inside the library. The material should be stored externally.
I don’t know what is causing your editing problem.
