Q: Locating frequently used audio in a single Event in FCPX 10.1?
I have a bunch of audio files that I regularly use to score my podcasts. I am just starting to figure out this new 10.1 update. Instead of copying them into each new "Event" (or "Project" now that it appears the project files are contained within the event files), it seems like it might be easier to create an "Event" that houses all of those audio files and then just link to them.
I understand that doing this means that if I ever move the audio "Event" that EVERY other event or project that references it will now have to be redirecting/relinked to the updated location, but honestly, I have not ever moved the source folder for the audio. I have organized my system so that all of the audio is contained in an easily accessible folder on my external hard drive. It seems like a good idea to have all of the audio contained in an easily accessible "Event" in the new FCPX 10.1.
Am I right? Is there a flaw in my thinking? Let me know if you need more info to answer the question.
