Q: Moving files from one event to another in same library

When I use the Reveal in Finder function, it opens up the Original Media folder inside my Library.

First I want to thank you, Tom, for taking the time to help me.

Yes. I am editing a job for a videographer who uses a Canon DSLR. He gave me his SD cards. I import the SD cards right into FCPX copying the files into the library. As you can see in the snapshot, I have two events inside the FAF library.

I don't have any issues period with importing the clips. All of the clips play. They even play in the Finder. I just can't move a file from one event to another inside the same library. I do agree with you. It shouldn't be like that.

This is what the file looks like on the finder. It just says MVI_4412.

I am sorry if this reply is duplicated. I didn't noticed when I sent this very last reply, it was to myself. I am still new to Apple Support Community.

All I know is the videographer formats his cards right from the camera.

It is on my 1TB Seagate external drive.

I am convinced this is a technical problem with my FCPX. I imported a video file I made on my computer. I tried moving that file from one event to another and I got the same message.  I might just reimport the three or so files to the correct event through the SD card.

It is frustrating though that I can't just move a video from one event to another. Can it be done via Finder in the Library folder?

I will not do anything inside the library bundle. As for the formatting, it is formatted as exFAT.

I will reformat my drive and let you know the update. Thanks.

It absolutely worked when I reformatted the drive to OSX Extended Journal. Thank you so much.
