Memory & Cache Tab
The settings in this tab affect memory usage in Final Cut Pro.
Memory Usage
Use these fields to decide how much of the RAM available in your computer to use
when running Final Cut Pro. Your computer’s available RAM is defined as the amount of
RAM not used by Mac OS X and other currently running applications. By limiting the
amount of RAM Final Cut Pro uses, you can maintain the performance of Final Cut Pro
by preventing Mac OS X from using virtual memory unnecessarily. This is especially
important when multiple applications are open at the same time.
 Application: This specifies what percentage of available RAM Final Cut Pro should
use. The total amount of allocated RAM appears to the right. The minimum amount
of RAM you can allocate to Final Cut Pro is 125 MB. If the amount of available RAM is
lower than 125 MB, this slider is dimmed.
