hi everybody,
i've got this problem with FCP 5.0.2 on a G5 dp 2,3Ghz 4Gb ram :
i've choosen my external Lacie d2 250Gb ( 200free ) as scratch disk for capturing & rendering ( but left autosaves etc...on MAC internal HD ) but, as i look for the clip just captured in the finder.....i find it in the trash !
If i put back the scratch disk as by default on the internal Mac HD, everything goes right.

Can anybody help me ?

i solved the problem !!!

i probably made a mistake in creating folders....

now it's ok !

bye

Great, glad you figured it out because your question had me baffled! :-)
