Sharing Peak Files in Premiere
Hi all,
We’re trying to find optimal settings for our shop, where we use multiple seats of Pr CC (2014) working on an EditShare server. What we’re seeing is the constant recreation of Peak Files in Premiere, when projects are moved from seat to seat, which is both time consuming and feels unnecessary. Is there an easy way for us to set the dials so that we can have the files generate only once, and automatically for the whole clip? Waveforms in the timeline are necessary for our work. Step one is obviously to move all cache destinations to the NAS, but that doesn’t seem to be enough. EditShare suggest that “Automatic peak file generation” should be ticked off in the preferences, which isn’t the optimal way for us to view/work (no waveforms until media is played or gain changes are made). Is there a way to keep the automatic peak file generation, and share the generated files between seats?

Seems like I managed to solve this by setting the Time Sync prefs in the OS on all seats to sync to the EditShare-server. Any drawbacks for working this way (using the same cache locations on multiple seats)?

Hi Erik,
I’ve run into the same situation in our shop. Have you noticed any drawback or perfomance issues since adjusting the time synch pref?
