Choosing an Easy Setup to Configure Final Cut Pro

Easy Setups are software configurations that define capture, device control, and

sequence settings, as well as external video and audio monitoring options. You choose

an Easy Setup based on the equipment and format you’re using. Final Cut Pro comes

with Easy Setups that work with the most popular editing configurations.

To learn about choosing Easy Setups, see “Choosing an Easy Setup” on page 170.

For more advanced information about setting up and working with device control, see

“Establishing Device Control” on page 206 and Volume IV, Chapter 25, “Device Control

Settings and Presets.”

Choosing a Scratch Disk Location for Captured

and Render Files

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

stores captured media files and render files. By default, Final Cut Pro uses the hard disk

on which the application is installed.

Note: 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.

To choose a scratch disk, see:

Â “Specifying Scratch Disks for Capturing Video and Storing Render Files” on page 171

For information about choosing additional hard disk storage to use as scratch

disks, see:

Â Chapter 14, “Determining Your Hard Disk Storage Options,” on page 179
