Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro transferring workspace between machines

  • transferring workspace between machines

    Posted by Deepmine on December 18, 2013 at 2:06 am

    My shop has added 4 machines running the latest version of Premiere Pro.

    These machines are shared between a dozen staff members, each with his or her own idea of the ideal work-space.

    Is there any way I can save my version on a thumb drive for easy transfer? Cannot find any help on Google search beyond saving a custom work space on each machine which of course tends to get deleted when another staff takes the machine over

    Any help appreciated

    Hello,

    You can copy your custom workspace xml file to a thumb drive and bring that along with you.

    Here’s the path to where you can find your custom layout.

    Mac:
    /Users/[username]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/7.0/Profile-[username]/Layouts

    Win:
    C:Users[username]DocumentsAdobePremiere Pro7.0Profile-[username]Layouts

    Best,

    Hi, I have a question about this. Full disclosure, I’m moving from FCP7 to Premiere CC today, so some issues are very noob.

    If I save a custom layout named “JayCustomLayout”, then look into the folder you indicated above, how do I know which of those “UserWorkspace” xml’s is the one I need to move to the other machine?

    If other custom layouts already exist on that target machine, I don’t want to delete them by moving everything from the layout folder of the source computer to the layout folder of the target computer. Is this merging possible?

    Also, in my first attempts at doing this, if the target computer has a different screen dimension the custom layout tried to fit everything into the imaginary source screen. Clearly I’m doing something wrong here.

    Thanks for the help.

    Jay
