[FCP users question] Hi FCP users - I am just starting to use FCP for editing 2.7k MOV files on my 2013 MacBookPro - just for fun. (So just learning FCP basics)
My media files tend to be 30 seconds to 5 minutes long, and I'll probably have a dozen per project. Final projects will be about 5 minutes long.
In the Transcoding section of the Import window :
Options:
"Create Optimized Media" - it creates different versions of the files
Or "Create Proxy Media"
I know that I might want to do this - to reduce load on computer, and to speed up the editing process (for it to draw previews, etc)
Any recommendations? I know using either option will cause it to change the source media, or create proxy media.... what are the pros and cons? What is the best option? Thanks.
