Q: retaining keywords between projects
Is it possible to retain keywords between projects?
I ask because we work with the same footage over and over (stock footage library). So, I import new clips, assign them keywords in FCX, edit a project then move on to the next project. But now that "old" footage is associated with a library--and if I drag clips from the finder into an Event in FCX, the keywords associated with those clips are gone.
In my old file organization scheme (nested folders and with previous versions of FC), if I drag folders into an event, those folder names become keywords assigned to clips.
So how do I retain my keywords between projects if footage was imported in FCX?
Should I move new media out of Libraries and into my existing old folder scheme before adding keywords? And continue to build my stock footage library that way?
Thanks. I've looked in the manual and online for this issue and can't seem to find anything. Maybe I'm not asking the right question....
