You can nominate up to 12 separate Scratch disks, the benefit of having multi-
ple Scratch Disks is as one drive fills up then automatically Final Cut Pro will
move onto the next available Scratch Disk to store further material.
The major difficulty people get into with Scratch Disks is when multiple projects
are open at a time. It is possible to capture files into a project, other than the
one you are working on. These files will then be mixed in with the files of
another project.
There are two ways to avoid this:
■
(1)
Only work with a single project open at a time thus ensuring your files
will only be captured or transferred into that project.
■
(2)
Create and select a Logging Bin to capture
into. This is done by this control-clicking on a
bin and selecting Set Logging Bin.
Finally, if one wishes,
Scratch Discs can
be set manually.
This is achieved by
following the method
described earlier in
steps 1-7 - however,
when you get to the
final stage where you
double click the hard
drive to set it as the
Scratch Disc - you need to click the New Folder
button - name it, and then the three folders for
Audio Render, Capture Scratch and Render will
appear inside the folder and location you have defined.
