Where to install Final Cut Studio content
Hi. I'm about to do a clean install of Final Cut Studio 2 on a refurbished mid 2010 Mac Pro running 10.6.8. It currently has a 240 GB SSD boot drive and a 1TB 7200 RPM HD that I've set up to be used as a scratch/media disk. Would like to keep the boot drive as clean as possible and put everything else (that doesn't need to be on the boot drive) on the scratch/media drive.
I understand that one way to go is to set up an alternate Home Folder on another drive, which sounds like a viable option. I'm a little hesitant to go that route however and would prefer to "point" my applications to folders I would manually create on the 2nd drive for projects, content, etc. Is that going to work with installing content for Motion, DVD Studio Pro, Live Type and Soundtrack Pro so I can keep those files on another drive? And I'm assuming I should still keep my FCP project files on the boot drive?
