    Yes, I breathes easier when I discovered these essential settings. Although I recently decided to add files into the library again because I transfer things back and forth from my external all the time now and it’s easier to keep them in the project so I don’t have to keep track independently. Great work!

    • @HNeatR
      @HNeatR  Рік тому +1

      Glad it helped! So in FCP, rendering means creating a copy so that you can smoothly play it back on your timeline. Most computers can handle handle most edits nowadays so I only render the parts that have lots of animation, transition, effects to save space.

    • @HNeatR
      @HNeatR  Рік тому

      Good question. In theory it renders only the everything that you added to your clips for playback purpose, but with the default setting seems to render every time you move the mouse.
      That said, if you choose to render a selection, FCP will render the added effects, transitions, color grading, retiming, and anything else you did to the selection

    What exactly does it do to my projects if i delete generated library files? Will it delete projects im currently working on?
    Edit: I have like 3 projects im currently working on and I really dont want to lose my progress on them and if you could explain better what that does it’ll calm my anxiety about doing that, but i SEVERELY need the storage, yesterday i had over 100gb free, right now i have 11gb free and im extremely stressed about it

    • @HNeatR
      @HNeatR  10 місяців тому +1

      All generated files are the files that FCP created so that you can have a better editing experience, faster and smoother. You can delete them it will not affect your original files. It shouldn’t affect your project but if the project can’t find the files just relink files with originals.
      Your project is safe as long as you have the originals
      That said, If you chose not to generate proxy files, optimized media files, and stop background rendering you should be good with storage.

    My first ever final cut pro project is in rendering right now, taking up 400 gb of space and counting.
    I needed to have found this earlier.

    such an amazing video!! quick question - if i uncheck "create proxy media" does that mean i won't be able to view my project in proxy for faster editing?

    • @HNeatR
      @HNeatR  Рік тому +1

      Yes, since FCP will not create proxies. You can always turn that setting on whenever you need to. And that’s what’s great about it.

    Good day to you. Thanks for the explanation. I would like to know, since we 'leave files in place', will there be duplicates as well? as we have own external drive files and also the extra auto generated 'original media folder' under FCPX.
    Hope to hear from you soon. I have subscribed to you

    • @HNeatR
      @HNeatR  Рік тому +1

      If you guys leave the files in place then fcp will not create a copy where the library is stored. However, there would be still duplicates if you choose to render your edits but those ones are easy to get rid of.
      Now if the library is located on the external drive then it shouldn’t really matter if you choose leave in place or copy to library.
      My goal is to not create unnecessary duplicates. I hope this helped, let me know if there’s anything else you need
