DISCLAIMERS
Not intended to be a Key-Stroke, all-encompassing software course
Focus will be on the basic functionality of the program, and my work
Editing theory - How I build my stories and use Final Cut Pro X to do it
efciently. The program is buggy and will likely crash.....
Every time FCPX crashes...we will give away a prize.

FCPX uses a dual (2) database le system
EVENTS : Store your media
PROJECTS = Your edited projects
PROJECTS always reference EVENTS - Media used in a PROJECT must belong to an EVENT or EVENT
There is no limit to the number of events you can have
There is no limit to the number of projects you can have
Events are stored in the Final Cut Events folder
Projects are stored in the Final Cut Projects folder
Each folder is stored (by default) in your Movies folder on your MacHD
Events and Projects can be re-located using FCPX, but should never be copied manually
Files in these folders should never be changed, moved or re-named
