I seem to remember that too, back and forth between disks, something about the installation order of the files. Try just following the instructions. It may not be a bug.

I am always in the middle of a project. That’s the kind of work I do.

Does this mean High Sierra won’t work with any of my external spinning disks? That would be a nogo. Or just that the installation needs to be working on an SSD?
I hate having to buy hardware to work with fashionable software.
Cheers,

I haven’t worked with these conventions in video production but have dealt with the issues in copywriting for ad agencies. After seeing multiple files with the word “final” in the name I reverted for my own work to a super-simple, super-clear convention. In addition to the Job number and Title I add the date of modification to the filename with v1 for version 1 and if there is more than one version on the same date it’s v2, v3, etc. This has created no confusion on servers accessed by many individuals. I would sometimes add my initials for extra identification and clients would add theirs to comment versions.

Usually there are emails that track which version is sent to clients and returned from them with comments and indicate what is special about them. I’m sure the other suggestions are useful about identifying fine cuts, rough cuts, etc., but since such characteristics and descriptions can be modified over time and with client changes, I found the simple date (and version if more than one on a single date) kept everyone on the same page.

That said, I’ve often worked on servers where a short description could be recorded to indicate the status of a file. These are project management servers where several people have access to files. Different folks will sometimes create their own creative file names but my date/version convention usually maintains order.

I guess part of the challenge is that when different people are naming and renaming files it’s hard to impose or educate on a naming system that everyone will follow.

I’m curious, cause it seems like a number of people do this. What’s the value of organizing media into project folders at the finder or Windows level and then reproducing the same organization folders within Premiere? Instead of say, all visual or audio media by date or roll /reel at the finder level and then by project within Premiere?
Thanks.

I’m using Pr CC “2013” and 2014 to digitize MiniDV tapes. Not sure the more recent versions do tape.

Thanks, John. And there are no issues with different drivers or GPUs when you reboot from another machine?

Yes, getting a mobile phone replaced immediately is a kind of solution. But not always easy or trivial. We were in traveling in Nova Scotia and it took a week to confirm that the phone was really lost, not misplaced. The available landline was not in the 2-factor system. So indeed, having the 2-factor system depends on having the mobile always available. Or immediately replaced without regard for expense or availability. Or maybe a landline that is always available. The system broke down for us. I won’t use 2-factor until there is an option not tied to a mobile or landline. Mobiles can disappear. Landlines don’t travel.

Thank you, John, that’s a lot of helpful information and an interesting suggestion. It sounds like you’re saying that I could clone my current drive and OS 10.8.5 to a bootable disk, boot into the old OS from my current machine, and use the disk as a “legacy machine.” That sounds really interesting and I could even try it out before changing OS on my MBP.
Is that the idea?
All best,
