How to ensure Premiere Pro saves nothing to my computer's hard drive

I recently installed CS5 on my MacBook Air. I have a 1TB Time Capsule (wireless external hard drive) and I want Premiere Pro to save exclusively to that drive and not to my computer's hard drive.
I have all of my source files for my project (audio, video, images, etc) on the Time Capsule and saved the project to the Time Capsule. However, PP is still saving stuff to my computer's hard drive and I can't seem to find what or where it's saving it. The computer hard drive is already near full so I want to keep all things PP on the Time Capsule.
Also, every time I open up the project, PP re-indexes and re-conforms all of the media I'm using for the project. Furthermore, when I try to export and encode, Media encoder is saving stuff to my computer's hard drive even though I set it to save to the Time Capsule.
Basically I'm really frustrated with constantly getting "Your hard drive is almost full" warnings from my MacBook Air, resulting in me just moving other, non project related media off of my computer onto the Time Capsule or just deleting it altogether.
Help me use Premiere Pro so that it saves nothing to my hard drive and exclusively to my Time Capsule! Thanks!

  • How much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on?

    This may be a really dumb question, but how much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on if all your video files, assets, disk cache, etc are on different drives than the one the program itself is installed on?
    The reason I am asking is that I currently have a "relatively" slow Sata II SSD for my C drive that has just my OS (windows 7 64bit) and programs (adobe editing programs, no games) installed on it and nothing else. All of the files used in my projects are saved on either a very fast Sata III SSD or a slower HDD depending on what the files are. For example, disk cache on the Sata III, stills on the HDD.
    Being cyber monday I have the opportunity to buy another very fast Sata III SSD to replace my current Sata II SSD C Drive (just OS and programs). Both synthetic and real world benchmarks show a near double in performance. I just want to know if anyone thinks the upgrade is even worth it because for all I know there won't be any increase in performance since no videos, still, cach, etc will be stored on the C Drive.
    The alternative is to get a second monitor because I currently only use one 21" monitor.
    I suppose another alternative would be to not buy anything on the cyber monday deals and just save money for something else.
    Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks Alex! I think you are right about not being able to notice the difference between the SSDs. I ended up finding a deal to get about $80 off a great monitor that I've been looking at for a while and decided to pull the trigger on it. I thought about it and realized that there have already been a bunch of times where I want to watch a tutorial on youtube and follow allong in AE or PrePro, but have to keep switching windows. I also frequently want to have my video preview on a separate monitor so I can have a taller timeline window. This monitor will help a lot with that. Thanks again for your help!

  • How to backup MacBook Pro without AirPort Time Capsule or External hard drive

    How to backup MacBook Pro without AirPort Time Capsule or External hard drive

    This is crude but if you need a work around, just plug the USB drive directly into the iMac.. copy the files to it.. then plug it into the TC.
    You also do not need to use the TC as an intermediary between your iMac and MBP.. just turn on sharing in the computer.. so you can directly copy files from one to the other.. Macs have public access directory preconfigured for each user account.
    As far as mounting the TC..
    In finder use Go, Connect to server.. and type.
    AFP://TCname or TCipaddress
    Where TCname is the actual name of the TC.. I strongly recommend you follow SMB network rules.. ie if your TC has a name like
    Fred Blog's Time Capsule 2445566.
    It is too long.. it has spaces and it has non-alphanumeric characters.
    Shorten it to FredTC
    No spaces no characters that are NOT alphanumeric.
    TCIPaddress is simply the standard IP.
    You can also use CIFS://TCname which according to the article forces the connection back to SMB1 rather than SMB2 which as usual is broken.
    But I would definitely use AFP if possible. I cannot understand the decision to move to SMB as standard.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 is rapidly eating up my hard drive!

    Hey all,
    So I was working on a video with my trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. I originally had 28 GB left on my internal hard drive. After importing a bunch of videos and splicing them together, I noticed that Premiere kept conforming certain videos again and again. I didn't think much of it, because my source files (where I'm saving the .prproj and video files) are on an external terabyte hard drive. When I'm done with my project, I go over to my computer and see that my internal hard drive has suddenly been reduced to 3.1 GB! I have no idea where the other 25 GB has gone.
    What exactly does Premiere do when it says it's conforming video?

    I'm sure that you already know that you set up your disk locations in project tab. But a lot of people don't realize that in Edit=Preferences Media... you can tell premiere where you want media cache files to go. If all you have is your c drive and 1 external drive, I highly recommend at least one additional drive. Don't use your c drive for anything other than your os and programs..

  • How to install Logic Pro X additional content to an external Hard Drive?

    Hi all,
    I have tried and failed to install additional Logic Pro X data to my second hard drive. The SSD that OS X runs through is almost full and I don't have enough space for the files to stay there.
    I have tried to use the 'Symbolic Link' solution, but to no avail as it continues to install the software on my SSD! I can tell, because after installing the files I lose a big chunk of storage on the SSD.
    Please help! Is there an alternate solution, am I doing it wrong?

    Ah! Well, that would explain things
    Glad to hear you got it all working...
    Cheers..

  • Premiere PRO save project error if CC is runing.

    I have a problem with my Premiere Pro which wont save or auto-save if Creative Cloud application is running.
    I do save directly in a folder which CC is syncin to cloud. I have same setup at home and at office, sicne I can work from either locations (I have cloned files and using same letters for video drive = V: on both computers). This worked ok until recently, when Creative Cloud started preventing Premiere to save file. If I quit CC, Premiere saves ok. Than after I run CC again, it will sync new files normaly. What it wont do is saving into cloud-synced folder if CC is running.
    The error I get in Premiere is
    An unknown error accured while saving the project.
    Select "save as" from the File menu to save the project to a new lovation.
    If I use Save As it works directly to CC. Just "overwrite" save does not work.
    More funny is the fact, that after I Save As the project under another name in same folder, saving not only works with newly saved project, but also with original "broken" project (for few times, than refuse again and again demand using "save as").
    Quite sometimes few autosaved files in "Auto-Save" folder does not sync either (error dialog, "can't sync"). Solution is that those not-synced files are moved out from folder to (let say) desktop, let CC to be synced, than I copy files back. At this time CC syncs theese files too (and do not even upload them, they just get green arrow after a few seconds).
    MY system consisting of 6-core Intel SB-E, 16GB ram, all SSD drives, English Windows 7.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks.

    EDIT: I have F-secure antivirus on both system. I suspect maybe there is some write permission problem.

    And if you are working on two macs, when working from the other mac save that file to your local hard drive, then creative cloud will automatically save that file to creative cloud... when you switch mac you will have the updated file in creative cloud! Open the file and when you have finished, save as to your local hard drive, and creative cloud will then again automatically save it to creative cloud! I think the easiest way to look at the cloud is seeing it as a back up so every file you save to your hard drive will be automatically backed up to creative cloud.

    Depending on the play controller you'll either see a downward pointing arrow at the right end (click it to save a copy) or no downward pointing arrow (in which case you right click on the player window).

    What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
    See if working on the main disk is any faster.
    USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go.  And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too.  FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
    Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't.

    I am trying to save a doc. to a external hard drive and it wont allow me. I says its read only, any ideas on how to correct it?

    Save it on the internal HD then copy it from this safe location to the external device.
    iWork applications can't apply their save process on devices which aren't formatted as HFS+.
    But it may also be that for some reason, an external device formatted as HFS+ is set to Read Only.
    If it's this case, you will have to change de setting before moving the file on it.
