Note: Make sure you choose a device control preset that uses FireWire so Final Cut Pro

can control your camcorder or deck. Both the DV-NTSC and DV-PAL Easy Setups use a

FireWire device control preset. For more information, see “Device Control Settings and

Presets.”

5 Click Setup.

The corresponding capture, sequence, and device control presets are loaded, as well as

A/V device settings.

The selected Easy Setup applies to all new projects and sequences. Settings for existing

sequences do not change. For additional information about Easy Setups, see “Audio/Video

Settings and Easy Setups.”

If this is the first time you’re setting up Final Cut Pro, you’ll now need to specify your

scratch disk.

Specifying Scratch Disks

A scratch disk is a hard disk, internal or external to your computer, where Final Cut Pro

stores captured digital video and audio, as well as rendered media files created during

editing. (Rendering is the process of creating temporary video and audio render files for

portions of your sequence that Final Cut Pro cannot play in real time.) By default,

Final Cut Pro uses the hard disk on which the application is installed.

You use the Scratch Disks tab in the System Settings window to choose where you want

to save the video and audio files that you capture and the render and cache files that

Final Cut Pro creates. You can also specify other settings related to the size of captured

and exported files and the minimum available space allowed on scratch disks.

To specify one or more scratch disks and associated settings

1 Choose Final Cut Pro > System Settings, then click the Scratch Disks tab.
