AE CS5 is filling up my startup disk.

I never did for after effects. Premiere usually tries to default all of your files to Macintosh HD/users/username/documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/5.0

Ok thanks. I already checked there and didn’t find the offending files. But after trying your trick Premiere does seem to be getting all the files onto the external drive… so far. Thanks again Ethan.

No problem. Glad to be of help.

I’m experiencing the same issue and am trying to figure it out. It’s not After Effects but OS X itself. We’ve run out of RAM and so the operating system is writing to swap files on the disk instead of to RAM. Upgrade your ram or move the location where OS X writes it’s swap files: https://superuser.com/questions/28414/moving-the-swapfiles-to-a-dedicated-partition-in-snow-leopard

You might want to try turning off Multiprocessing as well.

Yikes that looks like it’s a little over my head. I always get scared going into terminal, that I’m gonna destroy my OS accidentally or something. But I’m wondering if this “swap file” cache is something that can just be flushed all together rather than simply moving it to a partition. Premiere hasn’t been giving me this problem after making the changes previously suggested by Ethan. All I’m concerned about now is trying to regain lost hard drive space.

I hear that man, though terminal isn’t as scary as you think =}
It’s wiped every time you re/start your computer, that’s one way of clearing it.
