Question of the Day ⚡ What do you edit your videos on? Let us know! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 ****** Watch our Review on the Samsung T5 SSD HERE ➡️ ruclips.net/video/wFT1iVn8mBg/видео.html
I just got FCPX and am learning as a new creator after using iMovie and I was shocked how much space it took! These are great tips and hopefully it makes the process easier moving forward! Any other small creators here want to support each other?
I just switched to FCPX and finished my 1st Rough Cut of a 90+min project... 169GB! I thought I am screwed, if this is just the beginning. Thank you so much! You helped put the air back in my lungs and excitement about FCPX!
THE BEST VIDEO ON STORAGE EVER! tried the 'delete render files' and save a lot on my mac. I even cried lol cause i was just happy it worked! from 75gb to 8gb only. Think Media, you guys are the best! ❤️ Love from Malaysia!🇲🇾 💕
Very helpful! I quit saving my FCPX project files because they were so massive that I couldn’t justify the storage costs. Definitely going to give this a try!
Honestly, this has made my workflow SO MUCH better, and saved me heaps of disc space too. Also, recently I needed to go back and reopen a library to change an edit and re-export, and everything was there as I needed it and I was able to complete it no problems - the way I used to archive and store things meant I would have really struggled to do that. Thanks Nolan!
Tips: 1. Turn off background rendering. 2. Choose an external storage location for the cache. In other words choose a storage location outside of the Library. 3. Generate optimized media or proxy media only when necessary. As with cache choose an external location.
This was a game changer!! I am computer illiterate or as my sister named me a "Technological Cavewoman". And even though I try very hard to create content etc.., I sometimes have to move away from my computer before I throw a brick at it 🤭 This was the video that made everything seem so simple and easy that even I can do it! You saved me $$$ on purchasing 10 TB external hard drives for all my videos as I am also creating online video training programs, my memory was completely depleted from my computer. Thank you so so so MUCH! Really appreciate your videos they are the best lessons that actually work and make sense! 👍🏼
Thanks for your help! I have so many libraries that just sit on the back burner wasting space until i need them....Just deleted some render files.. Love it.
This video is a LIFE SAVER! imagine my shock when I bought a 1TB Samsung T5 and only 5 videos into editing… I only had 23MB left on the storage. This freed up 868GB. I was about to fork out another $250 for a 2 TB external SSD
Awesome thanks for showing. I have a library that has a set timeline with titles etc. Each podcast for work I just delete the video element and plreace with a new video which helps editing time. The Library was up to 800GB and I couldnt understand why when ideleted the video content. This has saved so much space. Thanks!
Thanks much for this video! I just moved a bunch of my FC libraries over to a new NAS and I was totally bummed at how much space I lost. Your method got me back a good portion of that space. Bravo!! 🙌 👏
Well, is this one of the best tutorials, I think so! Really really good, no drama just good. I don’t like shouty “Was uuuup” videos or I’m super super excited videos.
As a small youtuber, this video is so helpful. I’ve been having a lot of trouble growing my channel but I’m going to keep at it because I know everyone has to start somewhere. Thanks
This is probably the 10th video I have watched on managing FCPX files and this is the first one that has made sense to me! Thanks so much! Very helpful!
I have both a Samsung T5 (Music Production) and a Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD (Film / Video) however I believe I will be switching completely to Samsung for Video as well bc of the issues Scandisk customers have been having lately. Eventually will scale up but for right now this is my 'beginner' External HD set up. This is a phenomenal tutorial, thank you.
Crazy!! I just ran into this issue last night on my first HLG rec.709 footage and had to juggle all kinds of files around just to be able to finish the render and output a MP4 file!! This one is saved!!
You simply made my day! This is the same problem I was living with for many years with so much of hard drives! This is a great technique.. Thank you!!!!
Legendary video! Our colleague told us about deleting those rendered files but we didn't realise we had to click the event to do this! (we had just a singular project rather than the event clicked-on). Thanks for getting us past those last steps! Great video.
Super helpful, thank you!! We use the SanDisk 1TB SSD for editing, and a Seagate 5TB for backup / storage. We are newbies trying to get a file organization system for varies assets - camera, GoPro, Drone, iPhones, 360, etc, each with a variety of sub-categories. Argh!!
You are great at explaining everything you are doing. I have been spending all year trying to learn my new computer and fcpx. I am very green and turtle paced. We are semi drivers so my time at home is very very limited. A problem I have is when I finally get on my computer I struggle to remember everything I’ve learned
Thank you so much. The guys on Apple Support Final Cut Pro have helped me before but I couldn't remember how to drop the render files. I knew it was simple and easy. After doing what you suggested my Library went from 735GB down to 200GB. THANK YOU
Oh my Gosh! I ma so lucky I found you guy in the beginning of my channel, I was exactly doing right now, thanks for sharing your process. Love you guys!
This is so helpful! Thank you for these great tips and tutorial. For the ministry, we wrack up media quite quickly, and this structure is immensely helpful. Question (just needing clarification): Do you create a new "Library" for each new project you're working on?
OMG thank you!!!!! i kept running into this problem when editing videos for work. I usually edit straight off my computer but I think I'm going to start implementing the external hard drive
*AWESOME Video!* Make New Video On 'GEARS For PHONE To Shoot RUclips Videos'. Your Videos & TIPS Are Helpful For New RUclips Creators. *KEEP Up Your GREAT WORK!* 👍
Another tip is to delete the render files. Go to the package contents and then select the video you're working on and go to render files and go to the "High Quality Media" When I delete all those files I have another 20 gigabytes to work with. Its so helpful just make sure your project is backed up before doing that.
When I make money from RUclips, I'm going to purchase the Final Cut Pro because this Filmora keeps giving me some weird display errors every time I edit. And it's super annoying.
I switched over to FCPX from Premiere Pro when I bought a MacBook Pro a couple of years ago. It has been so much faster and more reliable than Premiere.
Great video, I used to use FCP when it was FCP4.5 LOL. Yeah back in the day, anyway I'm getting back into the game and haven't made the jump to buy FCP X I just downloaded the 3 month free trial. Your video of the T5 SSD bright me here.
Thanks for the tips, it's a huge help! Quick note: for long term storage, you don't want those projects on a single drive: drives fail all the time. You can run a little Nas unit which write automatically to two drives simultaneously in Raid 1... You don't need speed, just safety 😉

Storage is a big issue that content creators don't talk about much. Thanks for the tips!
Cannot agree more!
@@Riseforth So, is it any different with other softwares?
I was literally JUST thinking about how I’m going to make space on my laptop! Talk about perfect timing 😅

Thank you so much. We had 15 GB left on our computer and didn’t know why. Now we’re back to 500 GB of storage. Life saver

This video has literally changed my life forever. Thank you so much!
Excellent video mate. So many times I’ve ran out of space on my drive while editing and this is the most clearest way of solving my problem
Thank you friend.
My FCP library file was 1.1 TB and now it is 100 GB. Very useful tip. Much appreciated.
Tips:
1. Turn off background rendering.
2. Choose an external storage location for the cache. In other words choose a storage location outside of the Library.
3. Generate optimized media or proxy media only when necessary. As with cache choose an external location.
Does proxy files also add to file size?
@@sagekaleke Yes
The delete generated files bit literally saved me 300gb. THANK YOU!

Yesss!! I just got Final Cut Pro x and I’ve been learning it on Skillshare. A lot of iMovie overlaps with final cut through just different short cuts
@@joymae Will do!!
You just saved me from waiting 10 hours for a 700 GB - 1 hour podcast video to upload. 🔥🔥
