Hi Friends!
In this video im talking about leaving files in place VS import media to library in final cut pro X. There seems to always be a lot of noise online about which approach is best so this video addresses some of the common misconceptions about the 2 methods and i share which approach works best for me. A lot of folks online seem to think that leave files in place is a magical space saving option but the reality is that its not that simple. Importing media to library can work with the exact same space if done correctly and has other benefits which i think make it the best option.
