Render Files

[artistiam]

Can someone tell me why does final cut make me undo some renderd files to render another project and is there another way to allow more rendering space?

How does it "make you" undo render files?

More render space? Get another hard drive or two.

Can you explain? FCP will let you render as much as you want, granted you have enough hard drive space to do it with. It sounds like you're running out of hard drive space. FCP can't create extra hard drive space from thin air. You simply have to get a larger hard drive. But FCP itself will not make you remove render files just cause you started a new project. Again, unless you ran out of hard drive space.

I figured out it was the acutal space

Way back when, when I ran FCP 2.0 on a state of the art 450Mhz G4, I ran into hard drive space issues all the time. Drives were not nearly as cheap as they are today. I had a trick to save on space. Work my project. Once done, use the Render Manager to delete all your render files, the re-render. That way you have much fewer render files taking up space for that one project.

Then my business took off, I made money, and I could buy a big ass hard drive. Which at the time was meassured in MBs, not GBs.

Thanks that's what I'm doing once I export it I'm going to delete the redered files I do that and then I delete old projects that I don't use or i already gave to the client.

you can also use render manager in final
