Lightroom 5.3 Media Cache Dateien

Hallo, ich möchte in Lightroom 5.3 die Media Cache Dateien in einem anderen Verzeichnis speichern. Ich habe Lightroom und PS CS6 auf eine 60 GB SSD installiert und die Media Cache Dateien nehmen schnell 10 oder mehr Gigabyte ein. In der Registry ist als DatabasePath und FolderPath
festgelegt:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Common LR5\Media Cache]
"DatabasePath"="C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Adobe\Lightroom\Caches\Video\" "FolderPath"="C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Adobe\Lightroom\Caches\Video\"
Wenn ich den Pfad in der Registry ändere setzt Lightroom den Pfad beim Abspielen des ersten Videos leider immer wieder zurück. Wie kann ich den Pfad dauerhaft ändern.
Hello,
I want to save in Lightroom 5.3, the Media Cache files in a different directory. I have Lightroom and PS CS6 installed on a 60 GB SSD and the media cache files quickly take 10 or more gigabytes.
In the registry as DatabasePath and FolderPath is set:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Common LR5 \ Media Cache]
"DatabasePath" = "C: \ Users \ Username \ AppData \ Local \ Adobe \ Lightroom \ cache \ Video \"
"FolderPath" = "C: \ Users \ username \ AppData \ Local \ Adobe \ Lightroom \ cache \ Video \"
If I change the path in the registry is Lightroom the path when playing the first video unfortunately always come back.
How can I change the path permanently.

Leider kann man in den Voreinstellungen nur die Video Cache Größe bestimmen aber nicht den Speicherort. Somit könnte ich die Video Cashegröße auf 1 GB "minimieren" und habe für Videos immer lange Wartezeiten wenn ich sie abspielen / bearbeiten will. Das hilft mir also leider nicht weiter.
Den Speicherort kann ich in den Voreinstellungen leider nur für die Cache Dateien von Bildern freiwählen und das funktioniert auch prima.
Im übrigen habe ich die Einstellungen für die Media Cache Dateien für PS CS6 auch in der Registry geändert und das Auto fährt noch prima und ohne Probleme.

Video media cache files

Lightroom is using up a chunk of C drive storing media cache files for some video clips that I have in with the rest of my media. As of now, I don't have any plans to use lightroom to edit video clips. Is there any way to have lightroom ignore video files and prevent it from generating all these video cache files?

You can easily delete the media cache files using normal OS delete command. Any video file already in Lr catalog are easily removed. Remember to use the 'Remove form Catalog' option not 'Delete form Disk'. In future, the video files can be unchecked in Import window. This prevents them from being imported into Lr. However, you'll need to copy them to your hard disk manually if on a flash card.

Media Cache leeren

Hallo,
ich habe bisher nicht darauf geachtet, nach abschließen eines Projektes den Media Cache zu leeren und hatte daher immer weniger Speicherplatz...
Nun kann ich nicht mehr alle Dateien zuordnen. Kann ich alle Dateien im Ordner Media Cache Files problemlos löschen?
Was sind mpegindex Dateien? Kann ich die auch löschen?

Ja und ja. mpegindex ist nur ein abstrakter Zähler für GOP-basierte Formate wie AVCHD umd das Scrubbing in der timeline usw. zu beschleunigen, damit nicht jedesmal erst unnötige GOPs dekomprimiert werden. Wie auch der Rest wird die Datei einfach neu erstellt, wenn das Projekt geöffnet wird, kann halt dann bloß ewig dauern, weil erstmal die gesamte(n) Datei(en) neu indiziert werden....

I am having a problem with files in media cache folder related to themes in PrE7.

I have PrE7/PSE7 and like others noticed my media cache folder kept growing. In particular there were .pek and .cfa files for three files that weren't in any of my projects. As I dug around I discovered they were Themes, ones that I never used. As I played more I found that these were the only themes that when previewed did not have any sound. My fear is that they are corrupt and and that is why the sound files are being created. Can somebody check theirs and tell me if they should have sound or not?
Thanks,
Mike

As far as I know everything is stock from the original load. I didn't have any luck finding any meaningful references to issues with themes. It would be nice if somebody could confirm if the themes mentioned above do actually have audio before I try a reload of the software. If Adobe monitors these forums as I would hope they do, maybe they could chime in with some type of acknowledgement (aware of bug but no fix or patch available...etc.) But then again, 8 is released...7 is history...:(
Bill thanks for your help...:)
I'm going to leave the post open over the weekend in hopes I'll get the info I requested then close it. Thanks again.

Trying to move the Media Cache Folder

I have the current version of Premiere Pro CC on OSX 10.9.4. I want to move my media cache files and media cache database folder from the default, USERS/LIBRARY/APPLICATION SUPPORT/ADOBE/COMMON to my external media scratch drive. I have changed this in my settings, and I can see cache files building up in the new directory. However, somehow, new media cache files are still being put in the old cache files and database folders. It is as if some are going to the new, some are going to to old. Any reason fro this and any way to chance it? I want no caching to happen on my internal system drive, I want all to be external.
Just found something odd - I tried making a brand new media cache directory on my scratch drive after resetting the premiere pro prefs. Now, premiere is putting cache files in this new one, the previous one I created on my media drive, and on my system folder. Is this a bug?

Just curious, are you still having this issue?

Why is this massive media cache file on my C drive?

Running Adobe CS5 (NOT 6) on a Windows 7 PC.
I thought I had made sure that everything was on my D or E drives since my C drive is an SSD and I don't want anything but the basics on it.
Well, I have nearly 4GB of Media Cache eating up SSD space and no way to know if I can delete it, how to delete it, how to move that directory, etc.
Whenever I start a project I have my source files on my E drive and I list my D drive as my scratch drive.
Here is a screenshot showing the exact location of this huge Media Cashe folder.
Gents, I'd greatly appreciate some assistance. My SSD is being eaten alive.
Can this stuff be deleted? If so, how? What exactly IS that stuff and why is it on the C drive?

Hi msp1518,
Thanks for the posting adobe forums,
These are the files for conforming audio, generating peak files for audio.
Yes, you can delete these files once you have completed the project in premiere pro.
Just, close the premiere pro : Just delete the files inside the Media cache files and Media Cache folder.
Regards,
Sandeep

Files recieved being saved in Media Cache

Hey, my friend has been sending me pictures for some time now but over the past 2 days something has changed.
Originally they were saved in the recieved files folder and full size, Now they are saved in the Media cache folder and at a lower resolution, also 2 versions, 800x400 and 230x164. They were named their original file names too but now they are a mishmash of letters and numbers and have "pimgpsh_fullsize_distr" on the end of their file names.
Nothing has changed for both of us, we both use desktop clients as well.
Any solution to this problem?

Why the hell did they decide to change it in this backwards stupid way? It literally adds three stages to a system that only had one. Originally you just saved it to an area, no fuss. Now you have to download the bloody preview, then RIGHT CLICK IT (because adding another button is easy and fast... piss off XBONE makers, this is piss poor design elements), and then from there, REESTABLISH WHERE THE BLOODY THING IS SUPPOSED TO GO (Once again, beautiful design you monkeys, positively brilliant) since it gives you a broken path! Then, and only then, will the pissing thing download! And the best part is now you have TWO feckin' copies of the same thing, thus eating up more space! There's a reason I refuse to upgrade to your gutted and **bleep**e app (which is in no way good or worth it, being only tolerable for a phone), and this is one of many reasons.
And none of you pillock schills which will likely come in and suggest "UPDATERGHBEALR" will convince me on it; the design ethos is indubitably **bleep**e, the features were sliced, the navigation is a pain in the nards, and apps are the **bleep**e I use on phones. You will have to do the same thing you did to thousands of other users, and I know you wankers will do it, is to destroy the coding of the non-app skypes. And guess what I'll do if you try that? Use some other system.

Should I Put Disk/Media Cache Folder in Primary SSD with OS and Apps?

Hello, I have a SATA3 SSD with OS and Apps on them, and 2 SATA2 HDDs, one for footages/projects and the other for renders/archive.
I believe putting the disk/media cache in the SSD would boost performance because of the speed, but I heard it can shorten the lifespan of the disk, although I'm not sure by how much.
I guess I could purchase another SSD dedicated for disk cache, but I'd rather not if putting them on the same drive with OS and Apps won't be too much problem.

Go ahead and put your caches on the same SSD as your OS and applications.
Most of the concerns about repeated writes causing SSDs to fail are from earlier versions of the technology. Reliability is greatly improved now. Also, there's nothing much lost if your SSD fails and it only has your applications, OS, and caches on it, since you can reinstall your OS and applications rather easily.
You never want to have your irreplaceable assets (like the only copy of your footage) on a disk that you are afraid of failing.

Question? Can you safely delete huge media cache files?

Dear Experts:
In working with PRE7 I found that almost all of my disc space was contained in my media cache folder and it was clogging up all my work. What is that file and can it be deleted without causing harm or losing work?
Tom

Tom,
This can depend a bit. If you have done any Rendering, those Render files can be safely eliminated. As mentioned above, the .CFA's and PEK files can also be eliminated (will be regenerated, if needed).
For housekeeping, I place all Scratch Disk files in the Project's folder hierarchy. This keeps everything together and below the Project's root folder. When I am done, I will just Delete everything in that Project. In my case, ALL Imported Assets are ONLY copies. I never work with originals, which are safely stored elsewhere. Basically, one click takes care of the cleanup.
If I am not sure that I am done forever with the Project, I will first use the Archiver (Project Manager in PrPro), and locate the "archived" Project on an external HDD for storage. I will archive ALL aspects, except for the Render files, including the .CFA's and .PEK's, just to save time, should I need to revisit that Project.
There are other files, that are possibly in the Project's root folder, such as when you Burn to Folder. You will then have the VIDEO_TS folder, with the necessary DVD-Video files. Once you have successfully burned that folder to DVD-Video, the VIDEO_TS (and all files), can safely be Deleted.
Hope that this helps,
Hunt
PS - UNTIL I am 100% certain, that I am done, I do not Move, Rename or Delete anything. When done, I often use the above mentioned Archiver, and then do major clean up.

How to manage media cache files in Premiere Pro CS5.5?

I hope my question is not too complicated but I still haven't figured this one out.
Here goes:
Whenever I open a project in Premiere Pro, the media cache files used are always the same ones from a prior project.
For example, if I open project ABC, the scratch disk used, the media cache and media cache files are from the ABC project file.
Then, if I open another document, XYZ, the scratch disk and the media cache files are again stored in the ABC project file.
HOW DO I CHANGE THE SETTINGS SO THE SCRATCH DISK AND MEDIA CACHE ARE THE ONES SPECIFIC TO THE PARTICULAR PROJECT I OPEN?
So I don't have to move all the cache files manually or change the settings in Premiere every time I open a project.
Sorry for the long description. Thanks for your help. Daniel Martel. Quebec. Canada.

You can't (unless you want to store them next to the originals, a proposition I find untenable). Some of the scratch disk settings are stored at the project level (things like video and audio previews), but the one's you're talking about are global - one setting for the whole program.
I don't like that arrangement myself. ALL scratch disks should be stored per project.

Need to re-burn a DVD, but some source files are missing. But Media Cache folder has them all.

hi all. I have PE3 and the issue is this: I needed a DVD of a project I'd completed a year ago, and I didn't have an old copy of the DVD. So I decided to re-burn it. But on opening the project, it seems some of the source files have been misplaced on my computer, so it says 'media offline'.
I figured I'd still be able to burn it though, because the Media Cache folder contained all the required files...
However it starts to burn the DVD and then stops at 49% saying transcoding error.
Q1: can you still burn a DVD if it says 'media offline' but you know all the source files are present in the Media Cache folder?
Q2: what's the transcoding error?
thx

The Media Cache folder contains files that are only of use to PE during internal editing and will NOT solve your lost video problem.
Once a Project is completed, that have no outside value.
The contents are CFA and PEK files, which is the Conformed Audio and Waveform Display, respectively (no video here to my knowledge).
And I'm not aware of any way to make them useful (outside of PE).
If you happen to have your Project and source video/audio files intact, and then delete the contents of the Media Cache folder, upon re-opening the Project, PE will regenerate the CFA and PEK files. Again this is only if you have the Project and all the source files (Assets)...

Media Cache Not Found Error in Mavericks

Hello:
In OS X Mavericks, I am trying to create a custom user template as part of an image to use on lab machines.
I have everything working the way I like, even the preferred Adobe CC applications. In Premiere Pro CC, however, I have an issue. If a new user creates an account at login (or if we do it, for that user), the template appears with all of our desired settings. However, the user launching Premiere Pro CC for the first time will get a "Media Cache Not Found" dialog box and error. The error points to a path used during the template's construction that does not exist with new users. The information has to be cached somewhere, and I'm trying to make sure that I find the right files so that they can be deleted before moving the dummy template to the proper location in OS X's System library.
Any suggestions on how best to handle this would be greatly appreciated; thank you!

[BUG] Media Cache Files

Windows7 x64, SP1
Media Cache Files recreating each time when I open a project. But when I close Premier Pro- this folder was not cleared automatically. This is bug for end-user because this folder "eat" huge disk space.
Who know why and how it can be cleared? Only advanced users. And the rest will see "out of space".
You need to fix Premier Pro so Media Cache Files folder can be cleared after Premier Pro is closed.

If the cache cleared every shut-down, it wouldn't be 'cache'.
Clearing cache between projects is a fine idea. Here are some other thoughts on the subject.

What are the advantages/disadvantages to "Save Media Cache files next to originals when possible?

I just noticed that I have over 7,000 files and 46.7 GB in my Media Cache Files folder. I know I can just delete all the files in this folder and Premiere will automatically rebuild the files when needed. But, are there any advantages or disadvantages to saving the files next to the originals? I assume that means that it will write these files wherever I'm storing my media files...

I'd say storing your cache with your media would decrease your performance. Having them on separate volumes/drives means that Premiere can read/write from them at the same time, instead of having to read/write one or the other, one at a time.
Additionally, PPro is create cache files from your original media, and it's always best practice to read from one drive, while writing to another.
TL;DR It's for Performance. ! ! ! !
