FCPX Library size problem
Why is my FCP Projects and events library so large? I keep my rushes on an external drive and save Projects and Events to my laptop hard drive. My Mac HD Projects and Events Library is now 119 GB. I thought the library did not hold any actual media? I'd like to create space on my laptop by deleting stuff but am worried I'll loose all my work.
Am I somehow automatically transferring clips from my Thunderbolt drive to my laptop hard drive when I create a new Event or Project? Does FCP store the edit as new media? I assumed that a "Library" was just data and not actual media.
How do I delete this material without loosing anything?
Thanks
