So when I start using the software, and one of the first steps in any project like this is 'Media Management', and I run into a situation that I can't figure out I go to the manual. When I get into a new (to me) program, especially something that is similar in purpose to what I already know, I will begin by trying to get to work and see if the software is 'user friendly' or 'intuitive'. George, thanks for the response, just getting some of the terms for the tools helps because to me the manual is written in a manner that assumes a certain level of prior understanding. Pro's and con's in each programs way I'm sure. Where it seems to me that DR requires the movement of not only the project but a separate step of moving the media as well if it's not going to be accessible from the computer that the project was moved to. It seems so much easier in FCPX to just drop a card in the reader and the import utility can take that media and place it right in the project where it's going to be used and moves with that project as well. So if I want to store clips across various locations for whatever housekeeping reason I choose, then I need to designate each one of those locations within Preferences in order to see them from within DR. Then I need to open a project and import the media from that location wherein I placed the clips, which I can do only if I have gone into DR Preferences and designated that location as a source because there's very limited file browsing capabilities from within the media tab in DR. So I need to first transfer my clips from the card to a file somewhere in my storage system.Ģ. Please let me know if I am doing this the hard way as I can't find any straight up info on the DR way of doing this.ġ.

From that point on my clips are stored in the project and it's a one time clean and easy way to get clips from the card to the computer where FCPX stores them and knows where to find them.

I'm coming from FCPX, and there all I have to do is create my 'Project' and import my clips.
