•
Old Versions: If you update existing projects to open them with a newer version of the
application, Final Cut Pro first saves copies of the original projects in this folder.
•
Backups: This folder contains a single backup copy of each project. This is a copy of
CurrentVersion.fcpproject (the project file) only, not any media files. Final Cut Pro updates the
backup copy in 15-minute intervals (if it detects a change in the project). This backup copy is
meant to be used by Final Cut Pro automatically in the rare instance of an issue when opening
the project.
•
Shared Items: This folder contains project files.
Tip: To quickly locate the source media file for a clip, select the clip and choose File > Reveal in
Finder (or press Command-Shift-R).
