    hey there,
    new to final cut.. so please bear with me!
    i’ve captured a lot of footage onto my macbookPro drive, then realised that it’s taken up most of the room! I am currently copying it onto an external drive, and then will delete off my hard drive, but how do i make sure final cut finds the source material in it’s new location?
    I haven’t done any editing yet.. just capturing so far.
    cheers

    The next time you start the final cut project, it’s going to say it can’t find the footage. Just click ‘Locate’ and see what clip it’s asking for. Navigate to it on the external drive and pick it.

    At that point it should see all the others and re-link them all. So you should only need to find one clip.
