To save space on your internal hard drive when using Final Cut Pro, you can move your library to an external drive. Start by connecting and formatting your external drive with APFS, and remove generated files from the library for a quicker move. In Final Cut Pro, select the library, consolidate your media files, and then reveal the library in Finder. Quit Final Cut Pro, drag the library file to the external drive, and reopen it from there. Finally, select the library in Final Cut Pro, consolidate the media, and continue working while it consolidates in the background.
