how to turn off backup on finalcut Pro 11 -

Final Cut Pro 11 (or Final Cut Pro X) automatically saves backups to prevent data loss. While you can’t completely turn off backups, you can manage or disable them in a few ways:

Option 1: Move the Backup Location Outside of Your Drive

Open Final Cut Pro.
Go to File > Library Properties (or select your library and open the Inspector panel).
Look for Library Backup Location and change it to “Do Not Save” (if available).
If that option isn’t available, select a different, external drive with low storage to prevent frequent backups.

Option 2: Delete Backup Files Manually

Go to Finder and navigate to:
javascript
CopyEdit
~/Movies/Final Cut Backups/
Locate the backup folder for your project and delete unwanted backups.

Option 3: Use a Script to Remove Backups Automatically

If backups are still taking up space, you can create an Automator script to delete them at scheduled intervals.
