How to Duplicate a Project in Final Cut Pro X

Thank you

i need your help, i duplicate a proyect, but now i cant find the original....what shoud i do? thank you! sos please

obrigado 🙌

I have a Macbook to edit, so there is no "right click". Confused... so how do you duplicate the project?

After three minutes and you still hadn't gotten around to telling or showing how to duplicate a project, buh-bye.

Thank you... And, to add to this, I just learned if you have a compound clip in the original, and make changes to that compound clip, it will be changed also in your duplicate.

Even though this was simple, it was excellent! Great idea!

I do have a bit of "stupid" question though... can you duplicate a project into another library, and if so what are the steps to do so? Asking because I have a big messed up library that I want to take some of it into a new library to reuse and/or tweek, without having to open the one big slow library that I'm getting fed up with opening lol

Really great video, acquired writing👊

in simple terms: SAVE AS...

Thank you! Was looking for the answer to this exact inquiry.

Nice man! Just what I was searching for!

If I duplicate the project, and have the original footage can I delete the library and make a new one

Hi Marcos. Thanks for your tutorial. I duplicated a project because I wanted it in two different languages. However, when I made changes to the title (far, far away), and the rolling credits, the changes occurred on my original as well as the duplicate. I assume I will have to make new and separate titles and rolling credits for my second version?

Thank you, please next time don't duplicate everything you say.

3/4 of the video to get to the information Yap yap yap yap

Thank you for the information!!! Appreciate it!!

So... here is the same thing in 20 seconds: if you have a MAC, go to the file, and click CMD+D. If you have Windows, go with... I dunno what. and Ta-daaaaa!! What "content creators" must understand: when we have a problem with a program, we want to look it up, get it, do it. Get in, get out. No BS. One minute, that's all. Guys, MAKE IT FAST! NO TALK!!! That will get you more subscribers and fans. I always advise content creators, when they start doing a video: Stop for a second, and ask yourself the question: how could I do the same video under one minute??

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN AT LAST WHAT THE HELL IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PROJECT AND AN EVENT??? In plain English.

Thank you!

Huge time waster, thanks a lot.

thanks!!!!

Hey man, came across your channel and subscribed and just want to say you're doing an amazing job creating videos for beginners like myself trying to learn FCPX.

Thanks much. Why in the world is Apple so allergic to having a "Save As" on their computers or programs? It's totally stupid!

Why when I delete something from duplicated project, it delete same from original?

Thanks for your advise!

Thank You! This function is so different than most Apple apps. Example: Logic you just select "save as". The Pages APP has the duplicate function. Would be nice if Apple could keep these the same in all apps. "Save as" is so much easier than any other option I have seen.

I know how to copy and paste effects from clip to clip. But how do you copy the entire changes on one project (effects, cuts) and paste them on another project with the same videos? The reason I am asking is I built a project that was exported through PluralEyes 4. 3 layers of videos all edited, cut, with some video and audio effects applied. But then something happened to the synced clip and some of the videos are offline - it says modified clip. So I want to sync these same videos on PluralEyes again and export an xml file onto FCPX, but instead of editing the whole thing again, can I just copy the cuts and effects from the edited project and paste them on a new project with the same videos? Thanks.

Thank you big time!

Thanks.

Sooo much talk for "make a right click at the project timeline" and what to do with a duplicate?!

will duplicating the project also double the render files which result in very very large file sizes?

Thank U!

Jesus fuck, you wasted 3 minutes to explain a 10 second tip, and including no extra value of any sort, it's insane

Thanks Marcos! Whenever I search for a 'how to' on FCPX you are invariably the first result - that's why I subscribed!!

Hey, Marcos. Do you know the best codec and export settings if one's video is going to be projected at an event?

I have Final Cut 10.4.3. I cannot get the "duplicate project" option to show up. Oh, I see. I must first arrange my workspace to see PROJECTS in rows and columns. Thank you!

Hello, mine didn't work. I duplicate the project and change the music of the duplicated project but the original was also changed. Please help :)

All these fucking tutorials jezus fucking christ come on man a fucking intro of 1 minute and 30 seconds. THE TITLE SAYS ENOUGH JUST GET TO IT holy shit I'm so fucking fed up with these cancer tutorials that have a 10 minute fucking intro. You are a content creator, are you even familiar with the term attention span?

This is great, SO STUPID they don't give you a "Save" or "Save As" in FCP!

Thanks for the info. Some time I duplicate just to save it at a certain time just in case I have to go back.

What's the difference between duplicating a project and making a snapshot of a project?

Hello my friend. One thing with this method is that if you change text or rearrange content within your “compound clips” within that duplicate, it changes the original timeline as well. The safest route is to right click on your project and select duplicate project as snapshot. None of those problems will happen in that case.
