Hey thanks for all your help…

A little naiive, but when delving into these things, with virtually no technical help and knowledge of Premiere(first time user), one tends to dive in at the deep end and just swim.

Now that I am lost at sea, I’m not really drowning, but treading water.

If i can get things to work more smoothly under the conditions, I would greatly appreciate all wise words.

Thanks ever so much.

p.s.

running an iMac – osx 10.8.2

3.4.ghz
16gb ram
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB

Can you recommend a brand that would provide a suitable 48tb stroage facility, and how much?

Thanks

Chris

We are on a pretty tight budget.

Hey there. Thanks for calling…

Maybe I do have the media structure wrong.

I’ll explain.

I’m working on a big project… feature documentary.

Um. I have 4X12tb pegasus drives, around 9tb per drive of media.

36tb…

So I’ve copied onto each drive1 tb each field drive into one folder each drive e.g.

PEGASUS1/

FOLDER CALLED OBC_1/

All my drives in there own folders

ONFP-1B
ONFP-2B
ONFP-3B
ONFP-4B
ONFP-5B
ONFP-6B
ONFP-7B
ONFP-8B
ONFP-9B
ONFP-10B

Then I keep all of my caches/previews/projects on my HD2.

I did have them thunderbolting on 1 of my pegasus drives for a while, but this is when I went funny!

Am I doing wrong according to the Richard Harrington’s Editor’s Guide to Adobe Premiere Pro media management?

Cheers

Christopher.

Good to know I’m not the only one! Thanks.

Any fixes?

Also I am jammed up with this error.

Can’t seem to get around it.

Yeah. Interesting.

I got my media cache to stop regenerating everytime I opened. Awesome to all those who helped!!! Big ups.
But now I set to render, say time lapses I have resized to 1080. Leave it running over night.
Here’s what happens…

A. My computer tells me my OS drive is chocka and I need to force quit a number of applications. I do so but then have to shut down to be able to reopen PP CS6.

B. I reopen and my renders are gone!

Mmm. I need to get to the bottom of this one, cause i have a lot of renders to do.

Yours in need.

I tried a reinstall but I’m having the same problem.

Any other ideas folks.

Chris

[Christopher Tegg]

Is reinstalling an option to clean things up?

[Christopher Tegg]

Going through the motions as I type.

I deleted the cache files, created a new project. The files rebuilt. Closed it, opened it, and all was good. No Generating peak files.
Now lets see what happens with my mammoth master program. – Gulp!

[Christopher Tegg]

Superb. You have made my day!

Thanks

Chris

[Christopher Tegg]

Thanks for the tip, but I find the link unlink very useful, as in fcp.

If someone could show me a way to link several clips at one time. I can unlink as many as I want to control separate audio tracks.

Cheers

Chris
