FCPX & Pegasus Issue?
Hi,
I’m having a problem that I’m hoping that someone could point me in the right direction for correcting. I’ll try to keep this as specific as I can. I’m fairly new to FCPX 10.4.4 coming from a history of using Sony Vegas Pro. I made a seven minute 4K project using some FCPX color presets along with creating/saving about a half a dozen of my own from them for matching up two different camcorders. I also did some freeze frames along with using the Ken Burns effect. I imported my video using copy files to library with the transcoding option set at optimized media. I’m using a loaded late 2016 15” MacBook Pro 1 TB SSD along with my media being on a Promise Pegasus3 R6 24TB Raid 5.
I completed my project and exported out a master copy without issue. After doing so, in FCPX I went under File > Delete Generated Library Files and checked Delete Rendered Files > All > Delete Optimized Media.
The following is my problem; Upon checking available free space on my Pegasus, it shows that I have 13.62 TB available with 6.38 TB as used (see below). I do have other media on the Pegasus in which I manually checked all the sizes of the files including FCPX projects. I came up with only 1.261 TB used. I would sincerely appreciate any help if you may have any ideas what the problem may be? Thank you, RayPegasus Current Info:

I’d also like to add…… This particular project is now showing up all blue in the FCPX timeline.

Where is your Library stored?
Did you check how big that sucker got? -
Thanks Eric…… That’s a good question. I have all my media on the Pegasus and worked from that in FCPX. Obviously I have a lot to learn and I do have awesome Ripple tutorials that I haven’t gotten into yet. I was pinched for time for a couple events. Once I get this straightened out, I’m going to study media management to get it right the next time around. Thanks again, Ray

I have two Libraries on my Pegasus which shows one being at 69.84 GB and the other at 43.07 GB. That’s only 112.91 GB. I deleted all the Generated Library Render and Optimized Files under the File tab in FCPX. I assumed that these files would have been aimed at the Pegasus. I also did a search using Spotlight. I did have some very small library files come up but, they were from my projects used that I mentioned in above. Thanks again, Ray

I screwed up……… I went through my Pegasus once again this afternoon. I counted two different folders “previously” at 5.12 GB it should have been 5.12 TB My stupidity…….. ???? Those two folders consists of 4K media along with a ton of other media from over the years. I must have done a backup of a backup. Now…… If any of you were close, I’d back up so you could kick me in the ……… Sorry guy’s…….. Ray????

Better safe than sorry and I will always accept stupidity over carelessness.
I hope that resolves your space issues.
Now if I can only backup my 48TB of crap 🙁

Great statement and thank you for understanding. I jumped the gun on this and should have dug deeper. I should be good to go with the 13TB plus on my Pegasus.
48TB to backup? Wow! ???? I’m sure you’ll do just fine. Thanks Eric ????
