Hello,
Check what your system settings are for the project. This is under the Final Cut Pro tab.
Make sure the capture scratch is set to the correct drive and folder you wish the footage to go to. I also check that the render folder, etc are also set up to the particular project I am working on.
I work on several projects at the same time I have to this every time I log and transfer.
The system remembers the last location you logged footage. I have found that this happens even when you open an old project.
Good Luck,
Mike
