Preferences and Settings
New Editing tab in User Preferences
The User Preferences window contains a new tab for editing preferences. Many of the
preferences in the new Editing preferences tab were formerly located in the General
preferences tab.
Setting minimum allowable space on scratch disks
Each time Final Cut Pro generates a new preference file, the Minimum Allowable Free
Space On Scratch Disks number field is calculated based on a percentage of the first
scratch disk selected in the Scratch Disks tab in the System Settings Preferences.
The minimum allowable disk space depends on whether the disk is currently a boot
volume (the drive with the currently running operating system) or a non-boot volume:
•
If the first scratch disk selected is a boot volume, 5% of the total drive capacity is
automatically entered.
•
If the first scratch disk selected is a non-boot volume, 1% of the total drive capacity is
automatically entered.
You can adjust this value as needed.
Feedback command added to the Final Cut Pro menu
You can now launch the Apple Final Cut Pro feedback webpage directly from the
application menu.
