1. First we start with opening a new project which should be done by pressing: (file/ new project)

2. When we have done that we have to create a scratch disk.

We can do this by clicking on the Final cut menu/ System settings

3. Then we should get a window like this.

4. Now we have to tell the programme where we want our files to be save which is called ''setting up''.

We then click on the button which says 'set' at the top. and we locate the file we want to save. 

We have to remmember to do the same thing for 'waveform cache', 'thumbnail cache' and 'autosave vault' and locate the same file for each one.

5. When we have done this we press 'ok'.

6. Now we are ready to work on our project and save it as we go along.
