  • Can not choose scratch disc

    Posted by Jan Franzen on December 30, 2010 at 11:48 am

    Final Cut want to decide self what scratch disc to use. I have never had this problem before. The system settings show the right disc but still it writes the render files to another disc. I just throug those files :
    “Final Cut Pro Obj Cache”, “Final Cut Pro 7.0 Prefs”, and “Final Cut Pro Prof Cache” choosed the wanted disc at start up, choosed the wanted disc from System Settings and still FCP uses another disc for the render files. Anyone with similar problems solutions? The external disc is a cal Digit VR.

    Capture Scratch is where the App captures the video to Quicktime files – you choose the hard drive to capture to on the top section. Do you hvae “Render Files” selected as the same drive?

    Waveform, Thumbnail and Auto save hard drive can be selected separately on the bottom section of scratch disc tab.

    Trash prefs.
    Remove or Move the unwanted files. Relaunch app. Confirm selected drive for capture and render.
    Render.
