1. Open FCP, in the first dialogue box choose Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) and set the primary scratch disk to your FireWire 800 drive. The program should open.
2. In the upper left choose Final Cut Pro>System Settings. Make sure that all of the options are set to save to your FireWire drive.
3. In the upper left choose Final Cut Pro>Audio/Video Settings. For your sequence preset choose Apple ProRes 422(HQ) 1920x1080 30p. For your capture preset choose HDV-Apple ProRes 422(HQ). For your device control preset choose non-controllable device. Video playback should be set to none and audio to default. Then click OK.
4. Go to File>New Project, then immediately save your project to your FireWire drive.
You're all set! Start editing away. Try and remember to save your project often -- computers crash, especially when they are editing video.
