  Autosave scratch disk

  Posted by Quentin Block on December 3, 2007 at 11:12 pm

  Hi,
  I keep getting a pop-up message reading:
  The Autosave scratch disk you have selected in the preferences cannot be found. Please select a new scratch disk in your preferences so that FCP HD can create Autosave files.

  I have selected the scratch disks over and over, and all my other files are linked and fine. But I keep getting the pop-up every time FCP tires to autosave.

  Is there a special window to set the Autosave scratch disk?
  How would I access it?
  I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
  Advice would be appreciated!

  Autosave is set in the bottom of the system settings window. Make sure you have permissions correctly set. You might want to repair permissions.

  All the best,

  You use Disk Utility to do that.

  All the best,
