Chapter 5 Organizeyourmedia 59
1 In the Event Library, select the Event whose name you want to change.
2 Do one of the following:
Click the Event’s name and type a new name. Â
Press Return and type a new name. Â
Important: Renaming an Event also renames the Event’s folder on the hard disk where
your source media is located.
Merge or split Events
You can merge (combine) two or more Events in the Event Library (for example, if
the media they contain is very closely related). You can also split a single Event into
multiple Events if you nd an Event is getting unmanageable.
Merge multiple Events
1 In the Event Library, do one of the following:
Drag one or more Events that you want to combine to a new Event. Â
Select the Events you want to combine, and choose File > Merge Events. Â
2 In the Merge Events window that appears, type a new name for the Event.
3 Choose the disk where you want to store the Event’s source media les from the
Location pop-up menu, and click OK.
Final Cut Pro merges the selected Events into a single Event in the Event Library. The
source media les for all the clips are moved into the merged Event folder on the hard
disk and stored in the location you chose from the pop-up menu.
Split an Event into multiple Events
1 Create the new Events you need.
2 Move the clips you want to separate out from the original Event to the new Events.
The source media les for all the clips are moved into the Event folders on disk
corresponding to the newly created Events in the Event Library.
Important: If you disconnect the disk where your merged or split Events are stored,
you will not be able to access the Events or their source media les from within
Final Cut Pro until you reconnect the disk.
