Making projects mobile
All of my projects share the same scratch disk. Is there an easy way to export a project to transfer to another machine without having to pick through the ‘Final Cut Pro Documents’ directory? Or, should I be setting the scratch disk to a separate ‘Final Cut Pro Documents’ folder every time I start a new project?

When you work with scratch disks, select just the drive itself in the scratch disk settings. FCP will take care of all housekeeping all by itself… putting renders, captures all in folders named the same as your project file they belong to.
If you want to move the media to a new location, use media manager to do this. Make copies, create a new project file (in media manager), select a location for the media, and then click OK… check the new project file and it’s copied media before you trash the originals… that’s all there is to it.

that’s what I do Marionza.
I have an FCS project template which I duplicate for each project. One of the folders in it I call FCP files and set that for the scratch.
Works well for me
