Q

What is an Event?

A

An Event is similar to a folder that holds video clips, audio clips, and still images. Each Event in the Event Library refers to a folder on a connected disk that contains the original source media files, any related render files, and a database file that tracks where everything is. When you import or record into Final Cut Pro X, the source media files are stored in Events.
