Hi, Garrett.

It seems that you haven't played much with FCPX?

Fist of all, you are not locked to the auto analysis Keywords. You can turn those off right away.

Secondly, keywords are similar to bins. They don't have to be an auto search, they can be whatever you want them to be. You can setup separate "Smart Collections" if you want the auto search based on criteria that you choose.

If not, you can select mass grouping of clips in the Event and assign a Keyword to them which essentially puts them in a "bin". You can then choose to further sort them out from there, or not.

FCPX allows batch renaming of selected clips with recursive numbering. If you have presets setup, it's very simple and fast.

I would suggest downloading the FCPX demo and having a look.

You can swap Events and Projects as long as everyone has the same media.

If you have XSan, you can setup different SAN locations for different projects.

If not, use Event Manger X to manage what Projects/Events are loaded at what time. it's very easy and fluid, and yes it's different than FCP7.

Some people like it, some don't. I find that the Event side of FCPX is quite powerful, but it does not operate like FCP7, nor should it be treated as such.

Jeremy
