My current method of archiving has become far easier and more streamlined as a result of the bundles feature in FCPX, which effectively allows you to output multiple deliverables with a single click.Ĭurrently, most of my projects are shot in 4K, so this is how my bundle is set up to archive final 4K projects:īoth the 4K and 1080p Data Masters will output to my internal drive, while the 1080p web master will not only output to my hard drive, but will also automatically upload to Vimeo with a password.

Not the end of the world in many cases, but in circumstances where I needed that file right away it was a bit of a pain to dig through old archival drives to find, convert, and upload it to a video hosting site. I’d typically only create one master file, which of course meant that if I ever needed that file in a different resolution or codec, I’d need to re-encode it.

Archiving master files of your projects is never a fun task, but using bundles in FCPX makes it a whole lot easier.įor years, I had a terrible system for archiving my final cuts of commercial and personal projects.
