  • External Drive & Render Files

    Hello,

    At work and at home I use Premiere Pro 2.0. We edit most of our projects on external firewire drives. When I have a lot on my plate, I’ll take a drive home to work on a project. Obviously all of the scratch disks are set to the same folder as the project on the external hard drive. But, when I bring a hard drive home and open it on my home workstation, none of the already rendered files are in tact. What gives here?

    Thanks.

    -Aaron

    Is the letter of the drive the same when you connect it to your computer? That will mess things up if it’s being cut and sending the renders to the file folder structure based on a certain Letter then its looking for that letter based file structure and not seeing it. (you can set the letter by: Right clicking the My Computer icon, select manage, (computer management) select Disk Management, select the disk you are wanting to alter, right click it, change drive letter and paths…
    You can redirect the way your PPro Preferences see the cache files etc to that hard-drive. Close and reopen the project.
