Video Editing

README.md

'Set as Project Folder' in contextual menu

What does it do

When launched:

  • Copy the content of a template folder into a selected folder
  • Rename some of the content to the name of the selected folder
  • Move the folder to external volume if mounted

Requirements

Installation

  • Unzip the Template.zip file
  • Move the Template folder somewhere "safe"
  • You may need to substitute the Template Final Cut Pro X library file with one generated from your copy of FCPX to match the version (if this is the case, rename it to Template)
  • Create a new Action in FiScript
  • Open the New-Project-Folder-FiScript.sh file with TextEdit
  • Insert the template folder path and your external storage path
  • Select all, copy, & paste into the Script textbox
  • Enable only the Use on directories and Get notification when execution has finished toggle
  • Add icon, name and description if you want

You can modify the script to do whatever you want pretty much. Do NOT modify the script using FiScript, please use any other text editor and then copy/paste (here is why). The script was tested in bash. Note that it would not run outside FiScirpt, since it uses the $PATH variable provided by FiScript (change that to allow terminal execution). If you modify the template, you may also need to modify the script.

If you want, you can customise the default icons of the folders found in the Resources directory of the Template with the Folder Icons provided (at a glance recognition)
