Where does Media Composer store the project files for private projects?

Media Composer typically stores project files for private projects in the logged-on user's documents folder. This location is user-specific, providing an organized space that is easily accessible and secure, as it is unique to each user’s profile on the computer. Storing projects in the documents folder allows users to manage their files efficiently and ensures that they are separate from other users' project files on a shared machine.

The other options imply different storage locations that are either less individualized or are designed for shared access, which is not suitable for private projects. An external hard drive may be used for backups or additional storage but does not represent the default storage for private projects. A shared network folder is intended for collaborative projects rather than private work, while storing files on the desktop could lead to clutter and management challenges in accessing or organizing project files.
