I have been using FCE for a few months.<br>I have a 500GB external drive designated as my render disk for all, yet whenever<br>I render,<br>FCE creates a new Render folder on my System drive (which does not have enough<br>space<br>left).<br><br>So, when it tells me my drive is full I quit the program, copy the files to my<br>big, external<br>drive, delete the whole render folder from my System drive and restart it. FCE<br>tells me it<br>can't find my render files, I show it where they are, reconnect and move along<br>to make<br>changes and render again.<br><br>Unfortunately, the new render files are once again in a brand new folder on my<br>System<br>drive.<br><br>I have checked a dozen times in the System Preferences from within FCE where,<br>indeed<br>there are checks in the right boxes specifying the large external drive as my<br>render drive,<br>and, clearly it can talk to that drive since, once I "reconnect" to the files<br>I've moved, it<br>knows where to find them.<br><br>Anyone know what's going on???<br><br>TIA,<br><br>Carl<br><br></span></body></html>
