Final Cut Auto Save Vault at DVinfo.net

Hi guys...

Can someone please help. I'm trying to figure out why my "Auto Save Vault" Final Cut Pro documents folder is deleting everything after a few days. It is solely this folder. I assume it's a setting in my System Preferences in Final Cut, however I do not see anything regarding how long a file stays in the folder on the hard drive. I appreciate it....

Hi Edward,

It is most likely:

User Preferences>General

Autosave Vault options are bottom left. "Keep at most" and "Maximum of" may be set low. You want the first to be 20+ depending on project size and autosave time (mine is only 3 min). I also save a max of 25 projects which covers anything current with ease.

Thanks for the reply. Current setting are 40 and 25 respectively, with Auto Save at 5 min. I assumed these settings would be sufficient. Nevertheless, I've boosted the two to 100 each and I'll see how that works. It is a pretty HUGE project though.

Thanks for the reply.
