Thank you Roy, I have some questions - need to get this clear.
Because my projects are big, I started to upload them into external drive. As you probebly saw in discussion above, I had trouble capturing into external and and am advised to capture into HD. This really helped. There are no interruptions.
i have some confusion regarding where the capture goes and what results from it.This questions are related to "economy" of available memory space and avoiding interruptions that HD or extrenal drive might cause.
- I capture footage into HD - do I also edit this project in FCE HD - or I take all footage immediately (before editing) into external drive and do the work there. I add a lot of things to my project like music, photos, text and clips. if i take it to external drive and edit there - the auto save on FCE will double 'saved' work into HD AND external? Right?
IF I keep it in HD till the end - in order to free the space on HD and want to save the project - I want to "save it or transfer it " onto external drive.
This part of the process is not clear to me - what do I pull out of HD, so that the entire work is saved / nothing lost when I remove it from HD?
I hope this long explanation makes sense to you. I value all that you might say. As I mentioned to Al, I might not respond to your help immediately, but I hope to learn something new.
Thank you
Nada
