Honestly, this has made my workflow SO MUCH better, and saved me heaps of disc space too. Also, recently I needed to go back and reopen a library to change an edit and re-export, and everything was there as I needed it and I was able to complete it no problems - the way I used to archive and store things meant I would have really struggled to do that. Thanks Nolan!

Tips: 1. Turn off background rendering. 2. Choose an external storage location for the cache. In other words choose a storage location outside of the Library. 3. Generate optimized media or proxy media only when necessary. As with cache choose an external location.

Thank you for this very helpful, step by step guide. I am just getting started with Final Cut Pro and this is the exact video that I was looking for when it comes to storage. I really like your approach of storing your media on an SSD external hard drive when you are working on your project and then moving it to another hard drive when you are finished. When it comes to an SSD external hard drive, do you recommend one with a Thunderbolt or USBC connection?
