  • Auto-change FCP cache location depending on Project?

    Posted by Brandon Adams on December 13, 2009 at 1:03 am

    Is there any way to make the system settings for the FCP cache location change automatically depending on the project. For example, if I have different projects open on different hard drives and I want each project’s renders to render to their corresponding drive?

    FCP does not save preferences to projects, which is a silly mistake on the part of programers, but that’s another conversation.

    Meanwhile, get yourself Preference Manager from https://www.Digital Rebellion.com, a great free app, and create preferences for each of your different projects. It ends up doing exactly what you want, plus it does a whole lot more too, such as trashing prefs, saving prefs, and restoring prefs.
