Cluster Storage Capacity
If you are processing large source media files that exceed the available storage space
on the startup disk, you may run out of storage space on that disk. There are a number
of things you can do to address this.
If cluster storage capacity is low, do any of the following:
m Change the cluster storage location to a disk with more free space. For more information,
see below.
m Configure cluster storage settings to delete files more frequently. For more information,
see “Adjusting Cluster Storage Settings,” below.
m Compressor users can set Cluster Options preferences (Compressor > Preferences) to
“Never copy source to cluster.” For more information, see the Compressor User Manual.
Click Set to open a dialog

storage folder.
