Apple Final Cut Pro X (10.0.9) - Manual (Page 404)

Chapter 15 Manage media files 404
•
Duplicate Project and Referenced Events: Duplicates the project and any events referred to by
the project. Selecting this option includes all of the media in the referenced events. This is a
good option to select if you want to have the unused media available to use later.
•
Duplicate Project + Used Clips: Duplicates the project and clips used in the project. When you
select this option, you can choose whether to copy all clips and their media or just multicam
and compound clips, without the associated media. The first method creates a backup copy
of your project with all of its media; the second method backs up the project and creates
independent versions of multicam and compound clips that won’t be changed when you
update the original versions in your project.
•
All used clips: Duplicates the project and copies all clips and media used in the project to a
new event. When you select this option, provide a name for the new event that is created.
Selecting this option duplicates the entire original media file for any clip used in the project,
not just the portion that appears in the Timeline. If files used in the project were imported as
reference files (aliases pointing to media files stored outside the Final Cut Events folder), the
reference files are copied, not the original media files.
•
Multicam and compound clips only: Duplicates the project and creates new parent clips for
multicam or compound clips in the project. This means that the backup versions of the
multicam and compound clips are not linked to the original parent versions and will not be
updated when the original parent versions change. This option allows you to save a version
of a project and prevent accidental changes to multicam or compound clips in that version.
This option does not duplicate media and therefore makes a more compact backup file set
that saves storage space. You can provide a name for a new event to hold the multicam
or compound clips, or you can choose an existing event from the Event pop-up menu. For
more information about multicam and compound clips, see
Compound clips overview on
page 257 and Multicam editing overview on page 308.
This option is available only if your project contains multicam or compound clips.
5 If you want to include render files (so that Final Cut Pro doesn’t have to create new ones), select
the Include Render Files checkbox.
