I am attempting to keep all Final Cut Studio content on an external drive and I have found that it works fine by running the install disc and directing the content to your drive. However, here is the thing that is driving me nuts and would love some pointers on how to fix this: If you fire up Motion and the drive with the content is not connected to your computer, Motion will not be able to find the content media which makes perfect sense – the drive isn’t connected – but when you reconnect the drive, Motion can no longer find the content. Then you have to reinstall the content to reconnect it inside Motion which takes forever. Any ideas anyone? There should be a way to reconnect the library, but so far, I haven’t found anything. Oh, and going into System Preferences and refreshing the library location doesn’t work either.
