![]() Select the generic root folder you just made and give the library the same generic title, then save. ![]() A window will pop up where you can type in a title and choose its folder. Open up Final Cut Pro X and go to New > Library. To place this library into your generic root folder, you first need to create it and set its location. In FCPX, this library will contain all of your necessary folders, keyword collections, projects, and any files you need/want to access on every project. The other item you need to put in this root folder is a master Final Cut Pro X Library with a generic title. *FCPX calls video projects “Libraries,” so when I say “project” in this step it means the entire video project as a whole, including folders in the finder, FCPX libraries, and media. You can create more detailed folders within those if you like. It depends on your project, but I at the very least need Audio, Graphics, Footage, and Exports folders on every project. ![]() Within this folder, create other folders that you plan on using in your library. Right- or Control-click and create a new folder or click the New Folder button, then give it a generic name like “20YYMMDD_NewLibrary.” This will be the root folder you’re going to zip later. Open your Finder and select the drive you want to create the project* in. It can be saved on your local drive or on an external hard drive. Creating a “master” project template that you can open every time you begin a new video edit will keep all of your FCPX libraries, folders, and media assets in the right places with consistent naming conventions.
