Thanks Walter for replying:
How do you have the project organized?
One project broken into many sequences within the project. On my RAID I have SLR footage in numbered folders that hold from 1-2 Terabytes each, so I can keep them backed up. The sequence that I’m working on now and want to take to work on is in one folder.
Can you split it cleanly into 2 projects (one for the 1 TB you need, the other for the 5 TB you don’t), or is there a lot of overlap?
I could pull the footage I’m working on, because it is in one folder. I’m wondering if I could just pull that footage, put in on the HD that I’m taking with me and then link it. But my project will then have all this unlinked footage on my laptop. PP will have a lot of footage it won’t be able to find. I was considering this. Take the footage I’m working on and keep it in its folder and hope PP will link with it and not worry about finding the other footage missing.
What kind of footage are you working with, and how is it arranged on disk?
I’m working with 5D footage in folders with its sound. Each folder contains about 2tb of material
What is the storage like on your system now, and what will it be like on your other system?
I have a 12 TB Raid system and I’d like to take my footage on a 1Tb Hard Drive.
Hmm, maybe this will be to difficult to do?
Best, Lucian
