You’re very kind trying to help me! 🙂 Sorry for not getting it!
Yes exactly, its this general rule that makes me think that I should specify the three folders in the Memory & Cache Preferences? Im I really so wrong in this?
1) The first of these folders, with the preview render files, should be on the G-drive, no? If I have already put my captured video files on D?
2) The second folder (Database), I keep on C?
3) And the third folder (Cache), I keep on C?
When you say the application, does that include the project files?

Okej, thanks for trying to help! 🙂 Sorry I’m new to this. I just really thought that one should separate the files of a project into different hard drives for better performance and then I just wanted to know, if I should do this by choosing different hard drives in the Memory & Cache preferences. Here are three folders to be specified (under enable disk cache, database and cache). But from the post above it seems like these can all be as they are by defolt, C. So then I’m just more confused of where to separate the project to different hard drives…

Thanks Todd! Okej, so the answer seems to be that I can keep the pre-chosen folders as they are in the Memory & Cache preferences. This is C.
The reason I asked which of these I should put on C or D was that the defolt is C on my computer and I understood that the source footage and the prewiew files should not be on the same hard drive. I have read all the help-sections already and aske here when I don’t understand them. And I thought it would be easier to just ask this rather than all the things I don’t understand in these texts. It’s like learning a new language. 🙂

Yes, and I’m still confused, so if there is anyone who knows this and can help that would be very much appreciated! 🙂

Yes, and I’m still confused.

Thanks for you help!

A thought, would it be a good idea to use an external harddrive for the project or for the scratch disks and media cache files?

Aha! Great! Thanks so much! 🙂

Thanks Michael! Yes I have shot the person in front of a green screen, and have removed this persons background through chromakey. But now I want make this person partly or fulle empty and fill it with a movning picture. So I need to get the outline of the person. In Photoshop I would hit the magic wand tool to remove the inside of the person (that is totally black) and the background image would come through, but I need to know what the equivalent is in AE. The outline ofcause needs to follow the person when it’s moving, so masking it by hand is not a very good alternative, but I guess i need some kind of mask… 🙂
