Media management overview
Final Cut Pro provides you with flexible and powerful tools to manage your media files. 
The first time you open Final Cut Pro, it automatically creates a library file in the Movies folder. 
You can import media into the library file or have Final Cut Pro access media files in other 
locations. The Final Cut Pro library database tracks your edit decisions, the associated metadata, 
and all your events, projects, and clips (as well as any optimized or rendered media files)....

During the update process, Final Cut Pro does not automatically copy your media across volumes 
(in order to avoid unnecessary copies). Therefore consolidating the source media files for each 
library at a logical location on your hard disks or network is a great starting point after updating. 
For more information, see Consolidate projects, events, and libraries
 on page 424.
