re-setting scratch disks

[Russell Lasson]

You can’t find one because unfortunately, it doesn’t exist. You’re stuck changing it when ever you want a different location.

have a little look at Preference Manager … Jon Chappel and his buddies over at Digital Rebellion have put together this sweet little FCP helper app that they offer up for the princely sum of a zero dollars (although a simple thank you is always nice)

with it you can save a list of preferences that you can then recall as needed. this lends itself to any situation where you set up different capture scratch locations for different projects as you can save a set of prefs for each of these projects. simply restore the project prefs set before opening FCP with that project

its a workaround of course … but its a workable workaround at least

Thanks Andy, I’ll look into this…. I wish Final Cut would have a pref to save with project tho….

I’m completely sold on Preference Manager too Andy. Its the most solution of its type I’ve seen so far. I used it once and had one of those “BINGO!!!” moments…
