Hi Friends!
In this video I'm talking Final Cut Pro X library size, specifically why is your FCPX library so large, why is it taking up so much space on your harddrive and providing some tips on how you might be able to reduce the amount of space that your final cut lib uses. I cover importing, optimised media, proxy media, render files and long term storage of libraries in the hope of helping you understand what Final Cut needs to function and what you might be able to live without. Final cut pro is a vast piece of software designed to cater to many complex workflows so understanding your own video workflow is key in helping you reduce fcpx library size by only utilising features that you really need. how to reduce FCPX lib size will depend on how you use it but hopefully this video will help you get to gips with what you do and dont need and streamline your editing workflow.
As always, thanks for watching and feel free to ask me a question in the comments below.
