Well, AE and safari are the only 2 things running and my disk space went from 2.5 gb free (which granted isn’t a whole ton) to 200ish mb over the course of a few hours of rotobrushing without actually exporting anything from AE or creating any other files from anything else. Safari was streaming music and safari obviously has a cache running as well but that’s a way huge amount of space for a web browser cache to take up so I figured it was AE. Also disk cache is disabled in AE prefs, so that’s not it either. I’m kind of baffled. I’m used to encountering these types of problems in FCP due to a careless capture scratch setting or similar goings on, but as I am a relitavely newish AE user I wasn’t sure if there were any other active folders that needed to be set to an external.
Thanks for the quick response by the way.
