Apple Final Cut Pro - Manual (Page 3)

Setting Up Final Cut Pro
Once you have completed the steps to set up your Xserve RAID, it is ready to be used
by Final Cut Pro. You should now configure Final Cut Pro to use the Xserve RAID
volumes for capture and render files and not the system drive or any other drive that is
mounted on your computer.
1 Open Final Cut Pro.
2 Select the Scratch Disks in Final Cut Pro > System Settings.
3 Set your Video Render, Audio Render, Capture, and Scratch Disks to point to a folder on
the Xserve RAID volume.
4 Make sure the Xserve RAID volume is the first Scratch Disk selected.
Additional Performance Notes
To ensure maximum real-time performance, Final Cut Pro 4.1 uses a more efficient
method of writing video files to the hard disk. Media captured with an older version of
Final Cut Pro is still compatible with version 4.1, but may not offer the same level of
real-time performance. To maximize real-time performance, it is highly recommended
that media captured with older versions of Final Cut Pro be recaptured with version 4.1
using the Batch Capture command.
