[MacDV] Re: Render File Location

[sb]

Carl,

go to System Settings, first panel is called Scratch Disks. Here is  
where you designate where you want things to be stored.

An excellent book for Final Cut Express users is by Tom Wolsky:

www.fcpbook.com
Also some tutorials. If you go to Apple.com - Support - Discussions -  
Final Cut - Final Cut Express, you will find a very active helpful  
forum.

regards,

sb
