Thanks for the help Ivan.

Yikes that looks like it’s a little over my head. I always get scared going into terminal, that I’m gonna destroy my OS accidentally or something. But I’m wondering if this “swap file” cache is something that can just be flushed all together rather than simply moving it to a partition. Premiere hasn’t been giving me this problem after making the changes previously suggested by Ethan. All I’m concerned about now is trying to regain lost hard drive space.

Ok thanks. I already checked there and didn’t find the offending files. But after trying your trick Premiere does seem to be getting all the files onto the external drive… so far. Thanks again Ethan.

Thanks for the response Ethan. I’ll give your suggestion a try but it leaves me with one more question. Did you ever figure out where these seemingly invisible render files are being kept? Assuming I switch to a new project and that stops any new files filling my startup disk, what about all the old files that filled the disk up to this point? Where can I find them to delete them off the drive and get my storage space back? Over the course of the couple of months that I’ve been working on this current project I fear I’ve lost quite a bit of storage to this problem. I’d hate for that to be permanent just because I can’t find these files and delete them.

Hi Ethan,

Did you ever come to a specific conclusion on this issue? I am having the same problem and can’t seem to find an answer. I’m also a bit new to adobe products. Coming from FCP. I’m actually using Premiere Pro CS5.5 but the problem is the same. I’ve routed every scratch disk, media cache and database cache I can find to my external drive but every time I render or even try to export video to my external drive it fills up the startup disk on my mac. I’ve lost gigs and gigs of space to this issue that I can’t seem to get back. I’ve deleted as much as I can off the startup disk to keep working and I’ve run out of things to delete. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ryan
