Why Does Premiere Re-Conform Audio
Hey all –
I am currently struggling with a large project that for seemingly no reason, sometimes when I open it it will reconform most of the footage (I am unsure how much of the project, but it will take hours).
I am not changing anything about the project – computer, location, scratch drive, project drive, media drive (or letter), media cache settings… nothing. Just sometimes it will start doing this, create completely new conformed media files, and just do that until it’s finished.
Does anyone have an idea of how to prevent Premiere from doing this? Is this improved in CS6?

project opening speed is vastly improved in CS6 I’ve heard.
what format is the audio that is re-conforming?
-
All types of files – .MOV from Cannons, .MOV transcoded in prores, .WAV, .MP3’s. It’s going through everything and creating like the 5th or 6th version of the CFA files.
SIGH.
If project opening is improved in CS6 I’m excited, because already I would say that opening was pretty solid, only the re-generation of .pek, .cfa, and .qtindex files was tripping me up.

are your scratch disks all set to follow the project?
set for (same as project) -
No they are not. I have a scratch disk that stays constant, on an external drive I hold as “S:”. This doesn’t change across projects and it certainly didn’t change today when my I opened my project file and the re-conforming started.
Also, I don’t understand how scratch disk would matter, given that it’s not the scratch disk that’s in question here (for the media confirmed files) but the media cache which, for the record, I have set to “same as source media”.
As a side note, I would love to be able to define media cache files’ location on a per-project basis (like other scratch disk items,) instead of globally.

Has anyone figured this out yet…it seems to only happen to me with large projects.
Any solutions? Very frustrating.
Eternity…don’t miss it for the world.
