Final Cut Studio Hardrive Space
Please help!!!
I have an 80 gig hard drive on a powerbook and have a fair amount of video editing programs. I just recieved final cut studio and after loading everything I have 3 gigs of drive space left.What I want to know is if I should use my one external drive to dump certain programs to. I have hadly any video on my internal drive and when I delete a program I hardly save any drive space. Please help.
Sincerely,

FCP shouldn’t take that much space. If you installed all of the Soundtrack files, you might consider moving those to an external drive. I don’t have FCP5 yet, but all of the programs shouldn’t be more than a couple of gigs. Also with DVD Studio Pro, you can move some of those files to an external drive.

Hi,
You don’t need to install the Soundtrack loops and the Livetype Data on the same drive. Its explained here (excerpt below):
https://www.lafcpug.org/tutorials/basic_fcp_4_upgrade.html
Don’t upgrade to Final Cut Pro 4 if you do not have at least 10 GB free on your internal system drive if you want to do a default install. You will require that amount for the full install of LiveType fonts, textures and objects. See later in this article for options if you do not have that much space available. Soundtrack Loops can be installed on any convenient drive, but LiveType’s data will install on the internal drive by default. If you do not have sufficient internal drive space, do not worry, there is a workaround that lets you put LiveType data anywhere you want. See the area later in the article.Best Wishes,
Mitch

Hi Patrick,
You might consider installing a bigger hard drive on your Powerbook.
