Hard-drive space while upgrading to 7Posted by J.Garcia
I have a macbook pro 2.33, I just did a clean install of FCP 5 to get livetype in my computer, and I am installing FCP7 right after, here is the dilemma it use 30 something GB of my drive when I install 5, and for 7 is asking for 34 GB more WHY is that?
Should I just install livetype from the FCP 5 Suite, and install FCP 7 without upgrading the whole FCP5? Will that save me some space? Thanks!
Motion is the new Livetype. Maybe someone should start the Livetype2Motion movement. Motion really isn't that much harder.

a lot of that media is most likely duplicated (lots of audio lops for Sound Track Pro for instance)
if you have the free space, i'd say just sit there and let the installers do their thing, rather than trying to second guess them. in the end the duplicated stuff wont be on your drive twice, and you'll most likely end up with not much more than the 35G of "extras" i'm pretty sure there are things that Livetype could do that motion still can't. changing font colours of the animated fonts or something, isn't it? nick
