Specifying Storage Locations for Render Files

Final Cut Pro lets you specify multiple disk locations for storing render cache ﬁles. When

render ﬁles are created, they are stored on the disk with the most available space. You can

specify up to ﬁve disks for storing either captured video, captured audio, or render cache

ﬁles.

If no disk locations are speciﬁed, Final Cut Pro saves the render ﬁles in a folder called Render

Files, which is located in the same folder as the Final Cut Pro application.

You specify the storage locations for rendered ﬁles using scratch disk preferences. For more

information, see “Setting Scratch Disk Preferences,” on page 110.

Using Cache Manager to Manage Rendered Files

You use the Cache Manager to delete unwanted render ﬁles or to free disk space. This is

useful for removing render cache ﬁles for deleted or obsolete projects, or for removing

unnecessary render ﬁles for existing projects, such as those at render quality levels that you

no longer need.

The Cache Manager ﬁnds ﬁles from unopened projects as well as open projects. If you delete

render cache ﬁles for projects in which you are still working, some rerendering may be

required.

If you run out of disk space, a dialog box opens in which you can delete old render cache

ﬁles.

To view or delete render cache ﬁles:

1 Choose Cache Manager from the Tools menu.
