Changing a drive letter – effect on project
I bought a new computer and need to move a large Premiere Pro project from my old machine drive D to my new machine E drive. Is there an easy way to tell Premiere about it without answering hundreds of questions?

If there is, I haven’t found a way. But, I would strongly reccomend using the same drive letters.

I do this all the time as I take my projects to different computers. Just make the drive letter the same on all machines. The only problem, as you say, with changing drive letters is the questions. However, if you don’t want to change the letter, once you point PPro to one directory it will find all other files that are in that directory.

I always use a batch file to map the current PPro project to the X drive (or whatever free drive letter is available on your network). The batch file simply uses the DOS SUBST command to do the folder/drive mapping and it just doesn’t matter where your PPro project is located. It always works.
Another solution… just open the PPro project in Wordpad (or equivalent text editor) and “search and replace” the old/new paths of your PPro assets. The PPro project is a ASCII text document so this solution works fine.
