Saving Projects and Accessing the Autosave Vault
OS X is regarded as being extremely stable and
reliable. However, just like any computer, there are
times when an application may freeze or crash. This
doesn't happen often with Final Cut Pro (in fact
I regularly edit for days and weeks without the slight-
est hitch), however, in the event of something going
wrong you need to be able retrieve the most
up-to-date version of your project.
The saying 'save early, save often' is a motto to live by. As soon as you begin
work on a project save it. Get in the habit of regularly pressing Apple
S or
selecting Save Project from the File menu.
Beyond this it is advisable to switch on the Autosave Vault option found under
User Preferences (accessed under the Final Cut Pro menu). This will automat-
ically save a copy of your project at the intervals you specify. I set this to save
every 5 minutes and to keep 100 copies of my project. My philosophy is one
can't be too careful!
