Is it safe to change a media asset file outside of Premiere?

Suppose I have a timeline containing a foo.wav file.  I edit that file and save it with the same name.  When Premiere loads that project will it just work, or do I need to go clear out caches or save it with such provisions ahead of time, or anything I should know?

It should work fine.
Do a test with a dummy file.
BTW - I do this all the time with Photoshop files.  Edit the original and the Premiere Project just updates on saving the psd.

  • HT5409 Can you turn this function off? I am having issues linking offline media(MTS files) in Adobe Premiere CS6

    New imac with 10.8.4.  With the new avchd coverter, I am not able to link offline MTS files in Adobe Premiere CS6.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Adobe hasn't updated it's products to look inside the avchd packages.
    You'll have to do it for them.
    Right-Click on the avchd package (or whatever it is called). Choose Show Package Contents.
    Keep digging into the internal packages in a similar way until you get to the folder with the mts files.
    When you tell Adobe to open a file, just drag the mts file into the Open File dialog. If it cannot maintain that link, you might have to move the files to some other location Adobe can process.

  • Media Cashe Files & Media Chase Database?

    I'm running:
    CS4 Production Premium
    Vista x64
    8Gig RAM
    Dell T4300 Workstation
    DuoCore 2.6Mhz
    1T System 7200rpm SATA HD
    4 - 7200rpm SATA HDs dedicated to Video Projects (2- 1.5T & 2- 500Gig)
    I started a new project Monday, captured 6 hours of video (3 cameras, 2 hours each of a Musical Performance).   As I was working yesterday, I noticed when I rendered, the 'render progress bar' would move (showing the progress), then pause for several seconds, move some more, then pause again, as if the renders were being written from RAM onto the HD.   "Normally", I see the render bar progress consistently, sometime slower than other times if the clips being rendered have filters, effects, etc., but I've never seen the progress bar simply pause before.
    Because I had (a couple weeks ago) changed my Media Cashe Files to "store next to originals when possible", I was thinking this may be the cause.  I've changed that back to the default (unchecked the box) but the condition still exist.   The "Media Cashe Database" is set to: "user\....\Adobe\Common".   As far as I remember, I've never messed with that before.   I also noticed the location for the "Scratch Disk" is listed in "user\....\Adobe\After Effects CS4".     Why would a PremierePro project have the "Scratch Disk" set under the AfterEffects folder?  (I changed this to "Same As Project".
    What is the "best" option for the two Project Preference settings for:
    1) Media Cashe Files
    2) Media Cashe Database
    TIA,
    jd

    No, you'd have to delete them. That's one benefit of storing the media cache files next to the originals, in that you can simply purge the entire directory of files when you're done with it. Splitting them up creates a bit of a file management issue, since Premiere really doesn't have a good way to selectively eliminate generated preview files. The Project Manager works to an extent, but it will still leave the originals behind. So as long as you set things up at the beginning of a project correctly, it'll make finishing and archiving the project a little easier. The good news is that if you delete a cached file that another project needs, it will be recreated automatically. Rendered previews would have to be manually recreated, however.

  • Premier Media Cache Files eating up Drive Space

    Using Premiere Pro CS 5.5, Media Cache files are eating up the Boot Drive. I keep media and render files on 2 additional internal drives. When I tried to move the Media Cache files from inside Premiere Pro, it resulted in an inability to read the drives from the Startup> Computer menu on the Desktop. This window would open but it was blank  with green bar scrolling across the top (as though the computer was trying to read the 3 internal drives. I had to restore the System to correct the problem. How do I reset  the Media Cache files to my Render drive which has the most available space without causing a read system problem. When can one safely delete the Media Cache files?
    I was an FCP user and all we had to do was delete the render files and/or the media files to get space back. Never had a read system problem from it.

    You can do three things.
    1 Go to EDIT - Preferences - Media and CLEAN your cache.
    2. You can also browse via explorer to the MEDIA CACH. The directory path is shown there in the screen where you CLEAN.
    Usually the name is ..../user/yourname/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Common/MediaCache -  the path is shown on that screen and then delete items and render files etc.
    3. At that screen, you can also change your Media CACHE to be stored with your Project Files and Autosave files.
    4. I think you can delete them anytime, because even if you delete them. Adobe will re-create them next time you open the project, but it will want to relink. But maybe double cheque on this before doing. I have deleted render files out of here with no negative effect. But there are also other files here. That I would want
    to do more investigation before deleted.  But as it is relinking..don't touch ANYTHING until it completes relinking because that seems to cause the sound and vision to go out of sync. It seems a bit of a bug in Adobe.

  • Media cache files: Premiere Elements 9 with SSD

    Hello you fine Adobe people.
    I apologize if this has been asked before, if so please could somebody direct me to an answer?
    I have Premiere Elements 9 on Windows 7. My issue is pretty simple: my shiny new SSD is getting full of temp files from the "C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files" location every time I work on a project.  I have set all other cache items I can see in "Preferences" to my mechanical disk, but I am alarmed to see this folder filling up with huge files on my SSD. Aside from the unneccessary reads and writes, it will be filled up in no time. It seems in Premiere Pro you can direct this folder to an external drive, but I cannot find this option in Premiere Elements.
    Please tell me there is a way to move the media cache files directory to another drive than C:\ ?
    Thank you in advance

    The answer is that you need Premiere Elements answers for Premiere Elements questions.
    The conformed audio files (cfa and pek) are stored in the Media Cache Files Folder. By default, that folder is found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/10 (if 10 is your version). You set the save location for the Media Cache Files Folder in Premiere Elements Editor workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks and the "Media Cache" category.
    The conformed video files (mcdb) are can be accessed via the Premiere Elements Editor workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and its Media Cache Database area. There you will find a Clean up to clear them and set limits. The actual files (which have a .mcdb file extension) can be found via the path shown in that area. This appears to be an unchangeable location.
    Preview files from rendering of Timeline content to get the best possible preview at play back of the Timeline content in the Edit area monitor are stored in the Adobe Premiere Elements Previews File Folder. By default, that folder is found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit Libaries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/10 (if 10 is your version). You set that save location for the Adobe Premiere Elements Elements Previews File Folder in Premiere Elements Editor workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks and the Video Previews category.
    Please let us know if you are now clear about Premiere Elements and how it relates to Media Cache et al.
    Please ask if any further questions on this or need clarification.

  • How do i change the media type on a digital booklet when they option bar is greyed out?

    I downloaded an album a couple days ago which came with a digital booklet. I am trying to put it on my phone but need to change the media type to book to be able to do this. whenever I go to the get info tab, the options tab is completely greyed out and wont let me do anything to it. I have tried selecting read only on the file and it did not work. I have windows 8. If there's is any different way of getting this on my phone, anything would be great!

    The item must not be read only if you want to change it.
    In the new Get Info dialog the Media Kind is in a light grey. Next to that will be the word Music. Hover over it and you should see that it is part of a drop down list control, click and select Book.

  • How can I change the media info from Concert Film to Music Video in ITunes 11.01.12

    I purchased a concert film a while back from the ITunes store, and in previous versions of ITunes, I had been able to change the media info from concert film to music video so I could watch it in my library (and any devices) without losing any of my library when I synced my devices (could only have either music, movies or tv shows on device - stupid I know), now with the new version, that option is greyed out, so I can't change anything, is there any way around it?
    Thanks so much!

    When you say "remove his account", do you mean remove his Apple ID as well as all his stuff (music, movies, and whatever else is housed in iTunes)?  If so, delete all his stuff (music, etc.), have him deauthorize the computer (Store > Deauthorize This Computer), and sign out of his account (Store > Sign Out) and then sign in to yours.
    If all you want to do is remove his Apple ID and not fuss with his stuff, then things get more complicated, because you do not own his stuff.

    I want to install onyx but my security preferences won't let me download it. Is it safe to change them and download from an unidentified developer? Will they be able to access my information?

    1. If you just want to run one application, control-click it and choose Open instead of changing the setting. This only needs to be done once per application.
    2. Ensure that you trust any software you choose to open in this way.

  • How to change iTunes Media Folder location after Hard Drive Died

    I have been trying to figure this out from other posts but can't seem to find what I am looking for. I store all my music files on an external hard drive. Recently, the external drive died on me. Fortunately, I had the external backed up on another drive using Time Machine. I bought a new drive for the music and transferred the files onto the new drive. My question is what do I do next? Currently iTunes still searches for the files on the dead drive and I get the exclamation marks next to each song which is obviously not a surprise. I want to change the Media Folder preferences to the new drive but will I then lose all my playlists? Basically what I want to do is direct iTunes to the new drive and keep everything else intact. Is that possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

  • Cost center change in the Asset master record

    Hi
    When ever cost center changed in the Asset master record, can it possible what ever the dep that is posted to previous cost center,that will automatically transfers to the new cost center,is there any programme for this,i can use repost functionality in controlling,some time many copst centers changes will happen in
    our system,so can any tell me how to automate this.
    Thanks
    Lily

    Hi,
    Automatic transfer to new cost center is not possible.
    You need to use Distribution or assessment to re allocate the expenses to new cost center.

    I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
    Thanks very much for your feedback.

  • Changing the Media Start point

    So I just had a hard drive crash on me and I did not have back-ups of my footage. It's not to bad because I have back-ups of the project file I was working on. So all I was going to do is a Batch Capture to reconnect all of my clips. Only problem is the person I had capture the footage did not leave enough pre-roll when they did a capture now. So now when it tries to re-capture it says "Cannot locate specified timecode"
    This is because there is not enough pro-roll on the clip to allow it to batch capture. When I look at the Media Start in the browser window for the clip it says it starts at 00:00:02:31. I need to change this to a later start so it does not try to roll the tape so far back. So.....
    How do I change the Media Start Point???
    Thanks

    Ok, I am following you, I just need to make sure the clips in the edited timeline reconnect with the old master clip.
    I could keep the old offline master clip and just make it reconnect to the new captured clip. But will this make all of my already edited clips in my sequence that are looking at the old master clip off by however many seconds I had to reset the in-point to get the tape re-captured?
    Thanks for the tip on dragging clips to the L&C window, I did not know you could do that.
