Create a new library in Final Cut Pro

You can create new, empty libraries, or you can create libraries from existing events.

If the Final Cut Pro Libraries sidebar isn’t already shown, do one of the following:
- Click the Libraries button in the top-left corner of the Final Cut Pro window.
- Choose Window > Go To > Libraries (or press Command-1).
Do one of the following:
- Create an empty library: Choose File > New > Library, navigate to a location on your Mac or storage device where you want to save the library, enter a name, and click Save.
  Note: You can’t store your Final Cut Pro library on a storage device that’s used for Time Machine backups.
- Create a library from existing events: Select one or more events in an existing library, then choose File > Copy Events to Library > New Library, navigate to a location on your Mac or storage device where you want to save the library, enter a name, and click Save.
The new library appears in the Libraries sidebar.

Note: With Final Cut Pro 10.4, you can save a library to a SAN (such as an Xsan storage volume) or an NFS or SMB file system volume and use it as if it were on a local storage device. A network SMB volume must originate from either a macOS server or a Linux server that has Samba 4.3.4 or later and is configured with modules for Apple compatibility.

See the Apple Support article Use shared storage with Final Cut Pro X.
