• Application: Use the slider or enter a maximum percentage of total available RAM to make available to Final Cut Express. The total number of megabytes assigned to FCE appears to the right of the percentage slider.

• Still Cache: Use the slider or enter a percentage value to allocate a portion of the RAM allotted to FCE for use by the still cache. The recommended minimum is 25 MB, but you should increase this value if your projects include large amounts of graphics. The total number of megabytes appears to the right of the percentage slider.

• Thumbnail Cache: If you use Large Icon as your Browser view, or if you're working on a large project containing many clips and want to display thumbnails in the Browser or Timeline, you should increase the amount of RAM available for displaying thumbnails to improve FCE's performance and the image quality of your thumbnails.

  • Disk: Specify the amount of disk space to allocate for storing thumbnails.

  • RAM: Specify the amount of memory to allocate for storing thumbnails.
