Saving Your Project in Final Cut Pro 5

Hi this is CJ South representing expertvillage.com, and in this clip I'm going to show you the second part of saving your project in final cut pro. Now below that you have minimum allowable free space on scratch disk. That basically says if your memory gets below a certain amount, you can no longer capture or save on to this disk. Right now the default is set to about 2 gigabytes. You want to keep it 2 gigabytes or above, because once your hard drive gets below 2 gigabytes of space, you then get performance issues going on. So go ahead and click okay, and now we are ready to save it. So just come up to file, save project as, and then again we are going to save it on the external hard drive or secondary hard drive, so click on that. Now let's create a new folder, again to keep organized. So at the bottom here just click new folder. That we prompt for a name: let's just call it my project. So my project and then click create. There you go now you have a new folder for it. So again let's go ahead up to the top here and name the save file my project and hit return. There you go. Now if you notice up here on the upper left, the tab says my project.
