[mfm-list]Final Cut Studio and hard drive space

[David Santamaria]

hi, you could delete the dvd studio pro templates and
media that take up hard-drive space or move them off
your internal harddrive. they're located in your
internal harddrive-library-application support-dvd
studio pro-apple-templates. (not your user library)
that's about 5 or 6 gigabytes right there. idvd themes
take up a few gigabytes with their media.  if you're
not planning to use the templates, no harm done. fcp
does not have much in the way of media associated with
it so you're okay there. regards, david
