Help, what does this error message mean?

# data[].attributes.body
A: There isn't enough memory left on your hard drive or pen drive. You will need to make space or get a larger pen drive and copy ALL files over to it. (remember not to rename or move anything into different folders)

# data[].attributes.body
When importing files - you will open a window similar to the one below...

On the far right make you you check:
1. Leave Files in Place
2. Create Proxy Media
3. Un-check any other boxes (they are not necessary for you at this stage)
4. Select and then click import all.

# data[].attributes.body
You must make sure you copy ALL your files over (remember it's like a filing cabinet and you need to keep it in order) DO NOT DELETE OR RENAME ANY FILES/FOLDERS.

Once you re-open FCPX - you might find you need to remind the software where the folders have now moved to. (see re-linking files question on here)

Don't forget to open 'trash' and permanently delete everything. This should clear the space from your pen drive or hard-drive.

How do I open a illustrator file in Final Cut Pro to create negative space?

How do I open a illustrator file in Final Cut Pro to create negative space?  

# data[].attributes.body
1) In Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop create your visuals
2) delete the negative space you want. (i.e. if you want to layer a visual over your film so you can see bits through it)
3) Make sure your 'background layer is hidden - turn the 'eye' off (you should see the checkerboard)
4) save as "PNG" file
5) Put in your image(s) file and import it back into final cut pro x.
6) Stack the image on top of your video - it should act like a transparent layer.

"When I play my film back in Final Cut Pro X it's really slow, why is this happening?"

# data[].attributes.body
This might be because your film is "rendering" a complex moving-image sequence in the background - therefore playback will be slow. To check, go to > file > share > apple devices 720p (this will export your film in its current state) Open this new movie film and play it back outside of FCPX. It should play 'normally' - if not, this may be another issue. Let me know if this resolves your problem.

Please make sure that (as originally requested) your pen drive is used just for the fashion film. Ideally, we would work from a hard drive NOT a usb. For the purpose of this unit and to save you cost, we have done this via USB. KEEP YOUR USB FREE OF ANY OTHER WORK. It slows it down, you will see the rainbow wheel of doom spinning.

A: Same a sound - create your OWN WORK. (this is the best option anyway!!) Look for 'creative commons' for non-commercial work. As a student, you are not 'making money or profit' - to break copyright law (and be sued) they need to prove you 'earned/ made' money from their work.

# data[].attributes.body
where do we stand on using sound? copyright laws and so on.

A: use either your own sound (one option) or websites discussed in the lectures, including free music archive SEE BELOW LINK. Look for 'creative commons' - soundcloud will use this to say - you can use it for non-commercial work.
