I’m working on FCP 7 and having nightmears. It keeps making me reset the scratch dick. Now I decided to drop the project on my hard drive to get it out the door. SO I’m wondering what is it a bout sequences and projects that make them large. I usually make a folder for a section of video, cut it down in it’s native format to footage I like, then I copy over the the take I like to another sequence. Are all the other are what is adding up to a projects size? The folder of footage and project is 60 gigs. The sequence / fcp file is only 4.2 MB. So where is the size coming in? I have 5 layers in the final sequence. I understand the more you have the longer it takes to render. I just don’t understand what is taking up space? Thank you Stacy
