Moving fcp 7 files to bigger drive
Hi - would really appreciate some help. I am cutting a short film on Final Cut Pro 7.0. I filmed on Canon XF305 and converted to Pro Res for FCP. I've ended up filming way more than originally intended, primarily because the person I'm doing it for wants a lot of archive banked if they should need it in the future. I bought a 1TB Seagate external hard drive thinking it would be sufficient. It is filling up rapidly and I know it's not going to be big enough.
I need to move the whole lot (rushes and project files) onto a bigger drive and was wondering what the protocol is for doing this so that the copying is smooth and I can continue editing. Does moving everything affect FCP 'seeing' the file and finding pathways to the original files? I know I'll have to change the capture scratch settings - what impact will that have?
I'm in a bit of a jam and up against a deadline - I would appreciate any advice on this. Sorry to post in Final Cut X - there isn't a forum for 7 here and I haven't made jump to X yet.
Thank you in advance.
Final Cut Pro 7, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
