Help! Render manager...

[GND]

Hi, I've been editing and adding the final touches of sound and video to my project and certain things need rendering but when I go to render (and it used to work just fine) It says there is not enough free space....

so it directs me to "render manager" and tells me to select something to delete...but everything seems so important, and there is only a couple of things I am able to select, both called "movie 1" or something.

..My question is, has anyone used render manager before and is it okay to delte these files that seem to be the movie itself? Or do you know any tactics to free up space?

I mkovied all my "render files" and "Capture scratch" files from my HDrive onlto an external HD, and that freed up some of my computer space...but not whatever this "disk space" FCP is talking about.


finally, I deleted all clips I'm not using in the movie, and have only about 2 hours worth of fottage....that shouldn't be a problem . and I have 2 Gig of memory on my computer.

the footage is not HD.

sorry to bump, but no reply yet.

I've checked FCP help and eveyrthing and it says iI have poor disk space...so, any help on what I can delete? I've already deleted all unused clips and moves caqpture scratch + autosaves + render folders to an external harddrive.

To begin with, I wouldn't be editing on my computer hard drive. I'd offload everything to an external HD with a second external HD as backup. Now, you say you've got 2 GB space left on your computer's HD? That's bascially nothing. It seems I remember hearing you should leave 10% of you HD open so you can do maintenance/house cleaning.

Move everything onto an external HD. You'll probably have to reconnect your clips afterward, along with the renders which should also be moved.
