Audio Conforming Error
Dear Creative Cow Community,
I’m experiencing some difficulty with audio conforms in Premiere CC and would really appreciate your input.
I imported approximately 400Gb of AVCHD footage into Premiere. It conformed for at least 4 hours before I realized that the files were being saved locally and had filled up my startup disk. I set the Media Cache preferences to a folder on the external hard drive from which I am editing and copied the 66Gb of conformed files to it.
Unfortunately, Premiere doesn’t appear to recognize the files and has decided to conform everything from scratch. The folder has already reached 85.1Gb in size.
My questions are as follows:
1) How do I tell Premiere to link up to the preexisting media cache files?
2) Is there a way to approximate how long the conform will take? Premiere only shows the progress of individual files as opposed to the project as a whole.
3) Should I select “Save Media Cache Files next to originals when possible” to avoid this problem in the future or will it disrupt the AVCHD folder architecture?
4) Will using Clipwrap to rewrap the files but not transcode them circumvent the conform stage?I try to do as much research as possible before soliciting advice but every now and then questions are sufficiently advanced and specific that going to the experts is a necessity. Thank you so much for your help!

I had that problem with those nasty little audio “pek” files building up in a part of the C: drive called “My Computer”. After a few projects, all the C; space was eaten up and everything would lock up with a white screen. And of course no warnings or explanations of the “program not responding” issue.
This is really a poor program for setup considering its price. Do they actually think anyone would want to put project data on the C: and a buyer of this overpriced program wouldn’t have sense to have other hard drives?
