Conforming Audio anoys me to the bone!
I have some raw matarial from a short movie I edited.
Now I have different versions of it (Premiere Pro Projects) and onece in a while when I open a version, premiere starts conforming the audio.
Can different projects when using the same video or audio source from the harddrive, link to the same conformed audio?
What I get is conformed audio of the same source – multiple times. One conformed audio in each folder coresponding the project name – filed under the conformed audio scratch disk folder.
That is: If a have a source file called “Mom singing.wav” and I make a project called “My family.prj” – Premiere Pro does correctly conform the file “Mom singing.WAV” and puts it under SCRATCHDISK\Conformed Audio Files\My family.CFA”
Now! A week later I do another project “Karaoke-town 2.prj” and I decide to use “Mom singing.wav” again, Premiere Pro goes ahead and conform the file to SCRATCHDISK\Conformed Audio Files\Karaoke-town 2.CFA” AND I DON’T WANT THAT!
I whant the two projects to use the same conformed audio file. Can it be done?

The only way I have found to bypass the conform thing is to make a new sequence within your original project. In your case, you would open the original “My Family” project, and then in the project window, add the new sequence for “Karaoke Night”. Since it is all in one project, Premiere won’t re-conform.
Doing weddings, my partner and I were passing projects back and forth and running into the conforming issue until we discovered you can create as many sequences as you like within the original Project, which was already conformed.Hope that helps.

Thanks, it helps knowing that I should stop looking for the “use the allready conformed audio”-button.
But man! Logistic headaces!
I found out though, that if I import an old project, it doesent re-conform tha audio as well.
So for all my audio-library and atmos tracks that I keep reusing, I’ll make a Premiere Project with’em all in and conformed. Then import that project into whatever project I start working on, and it won’t re-conform what it already conformed ones.
Thanks for the inspiration guys.

Just make sure you keep the drive letter straight too. That was another problem we had early on. I would send him a project that I had put on Drive E: …. he puts it on Drive D: , and then has to re-tell Premiere where everything is.
Good Luck
