Moving project and scratch files when finished?

Last question I have about this being new to premiere, is people keep telling me to use my internal drive as a scratch disk, I've decided to do so. However, when I finish a project, I want to move them off of there, but I also want the ability to move them back to there if I'm working on a project once again. Therefore I don't want to delete them and have to render new previews or anything else.
Is the best way to move this, to simply go up to project settings, and change the scratch disk location? Can I move the Cache by changing it's location as well instead of deleting it? And then when I want to work on the project a year later, can I open it up and change it back to my internal SSD and move it back and forth? Or is this a bad idea?
The main reason for this is I don't want my hard drive filled up that I have to do other things on, but I don't mind it using it while editing. I also don't want it going into my weekly time machine backups.

OSX 10.10.3, newest version of premiere, Projects go to 4tb USB 3.0 drive, Cache was going to 1tb USB 3.0 drive, then scratch disk was going to 250 SSD external usb 3.0 drive. However, the internal is fast. USB 3.0 read speeds are about 400 and write speeds are about 400 on the SSD. Internal both are around 800.
What I'm thinking about doing is using the internal SSD as a scratch disk as well as running the program. Keep project and cache the way they are. But when I'm done with the project, can I go into project settings, scratch disk and move it to the same drive the project is on? This is not to use it as a scratch disk, but allowing me to keep and store the files and clear the computer internal drive for the next project.
And if I go back a year later and want to work on the same project, put the scratch files back on the internet by going to the options and doing the same thing in reverse? Is this a good or bad idea?
I can't install a second SSD drive internally, as I am working from a MacBook Pro, it has a 750M 2GB GPU. i7 Quad core 2.6 processor. I'm using a thunderbolt display, as the 15" inch is too small for me to color grade correctly seeing both the tools and video.
If it's a big project, I open the macbook and use the macbook screen for my scopes and effects and the 27 inch for the video I'm editing.

Moving projects and associated files around, Possible?

I was asked to work on a project for a add agency directly from their office, now the projects where saved on the boot up drive, it barely has space, i want to move the files unto a external drive but inside a proper folder structure i can understand, seems like FCP so far only saves files on a chosen scratch disk, is there a way to save the files on a disk and inside a folder?

Sure. You can simply select a project in the Project Library area and choose File menu > Move Project, or File menu > Duplicate Project, depending on your specific needs.

Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

Easiest way to find time machine files is to open up the folder or application(works for email and iphoto) they were in - then click on time machine ICON or enter time machine from the time machine menu to go back through the files.

Kevin is suggesting that you store the projects you create while working through his book in a folder called RoboHelpProjects. It is not where you have to store every project you ever create.That is for the purposes of his book.
RoboHelp initially defaults to My RoboHelp Projects but it's up to you whether you do. Generally on the forums we advise against that as it is part of your profile and can result in excessively long path names in a few cases. Generally where authors create file names that are so long they almost serve as the content.
Projects always have a root folder, call them Project 1 and Project 2 for this purpose. You can have those folders directly off your C drive (or other local partition) or within in a parent folder as above.
Now to what you can and cannot do. You can delete a whole project by selecting Project 1 or Project 2 in Windows Explorer. Obviously if you delete the parent folder you will delete all your projects within.
What you must not do is delete individual files within a project using Windows Explorer, for that you use RoboHelp's Project Manager. The exception is if you go to Tools > Reports there is a report Unused Files. Files listed there will have to be deleted using Windows Explorer for the very good reason they do not appear in Project Manager and, therefore, cannot be deleted that way.
If you think about it, it is similar to Word. There is no option to delete a document there other than using File > Open and right clicking. Not very intuitive.

Cannot read version 4 fcp project and associated files with the new 5.1.2

I cannot read my fcp 4 version projects and associated files with the new 5.1.2 fcp.
Please help!

I bought the Final Cut 5 studio to use for my company but I have project files from version 4, which I would like to update. My G5 is running Tiger and Final Cut recognizes the old files as Final Cut Documents (the media is already on the G5) but will not open them or their associated quicktime files. I have no problem loading version4 to export the Masters but I would like to be able to upgrade the project files so that I can use them in my addition Studio Pro applications and touch them up in Shake. Also, I don't want to go and find FCP4 on the internet because it may have other problems.
What do you suggest?
Can FCP4 files be updated to version 5.1.2?
Can I get a back dated version of FCP4 through Apple?
Thanks for your time.

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them (or download and open them) from an email. I do I get this to stop? It's really aggravating.

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.

Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

How to delete all projects and accompanied files from Adobe Premeiere Elements 13

I would like to delete all projects and files and start anew, but I cannot find a clear enough instruction how to do it. Please help'

vitprod
Same other versions as well.
There is no one delete button that wipes away the project file (.prel) and the project's assets. You need to go to the save locations of the project file (.prel) and its assets and delete
each one by one wherever they are saved UNLESS you pre-plan and, before the project is created, set up a particular project so that the project file with assets goes to its own folder instead of each component of the project going into a common place for Premiere Elements files and folder where you have to pick out the materials for deletion one by one by name.
Answers
Default type situation
If left at defaults and if your Premiere Elements 13 is running on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, go to Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/13.0 and, in the 13.0 Folder, delete standalone files with your target project's name and delete files with your target project's name in the folders found in the 13.0 Folder.
Plan Ahead
Edit Menu/Preference/Scratch Disks - Set all to Same As Project.
Create a new folder at a hard drive location of choice.Then point the project file to that folder for the Save In.
Tip: When the Expert workspace of the new project opens, go to File Menu/Save As. Name the project and set the new folder created as the Save In of the Save Project dialog.
Please review and consider and then let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thanks.

Delete project and render files etc

Is it possible to delete a project and all render files related to the specific project?

Sure. Delete the project from the hard drive. Delete the render files from whatever location they are set to in system settings. You'll probably also want to delete the media from your capture scratch if you're finished with it.

Moving projects and relinking timelines CS4

I'm having a problem managing projects, specifically with linked sequences from Premiere to Encore. If I move the Premiere project to a new location, then open Encore, the linked timelines/sequences are offline, as would be expected. The problem is relinking to the new location, and I'm stumped.
The online help suggests to click on an asset, then choose locate asset from the File menu. This works for discrete files, but not for Premiere sequences, as there is no file to show up in the locate asset finder box. I tried just selecting the Premiere project file, but this doesn't seem to work. "Replace Asset" is not an active option either
The only solution I have so far is to make new dynamic links to the relocated sequences, but this involves redoing all the timeline chapter points.
Is there a solution to this?

Just to provide some more info -
When trying to relink to the Premiere sequence, I click on "locate asset". This opens a find box titled "locate asset - [name of premiere project].prproj . I then navigate to the project and double click. The error returned is always:
The selected After Effects project does not contain the missing AdobeDynamic link composition "[project name].prproj" .
This seems like a bug, as there is no AE project, it's a Premiere project. In any case, Encore cannot find the sequence again in this way. I have tried moving the 2 projects to the same folder, but this doesn't seem to help.

Collating all related files when finished

Hi all,
When finishing a book, I want to collate all the image files etc, so I can back this up on DVD. Is there a function where it will copy (not move) all files to a location with the InDesign files? (Note: I don't want to move all the linked files from where they are, copying would be best).
I realise this is probably in the help files for InDesign, but I don't know what ID calls it. So, if anyone could help, I'd be grateful!

Package is the way to go for backup, but be sure that all of the files you want backed up are touching the page, bleed, or slug, and that you include stuff that is hidden or non- printing (the primary purpose of packaging is hand off to a service provider, so they normally don't need anything that won't be printed on the page).
You can also use the "copy links to..." command in the links panel menu. This will copy all of the links to the destination you choose and reset the link path in the document to the new location, but won't copy the document as Package does. You can "Undo Copy Links..." afterwards to reset the paths back to what they were and the copies of the linked files will still be where you put them.

Photoshop CS5, Latest SSD drive and Scratch File

Hi everybody,
I just purchased i7-950 3.06GHZ computer with 12 GB tripple channel memory, and also Just ordered one Crucial RealSSD c300 128GB.
I'm planning to put my OS Win7Ultimate 64bit on it and Photoshop. Do you think I would benefite in any way from a second 64GB SSD dedicated to the Scratch drive?
I'm planning to hook my SSD to a SATAIII connector on my mobo.
Thank you for your input and time.
Serge

You will DEFINITELY benefit from having a second hard drive dedicated to use with Photoshop. Whether it has to be an SSD is up to you.
I can tell you this, however: When working with image documents large enough that you exceed your 12 GB of main memory, Photoshop's scratch files are often seen to grow to hundreds of GB in size. Yes, you read that correctly. So your 64 GB SSD driver will likely not be large enough.
I think your best bet is to use the money to get more RAM (people sometimes take Photoshop-oriented systems to 24 GB), then use a large, inexpensive hard drive for Photoshop scratch.

Moving projects and events from FCPX to server

Bear with me here...I'm a new FCPX user as far as file management is concerned.
I have several projects and events sitting at the root level of FCPX when I open it. It's completely bogging down my system (whether FCPX is open or not) and I understand I need to archive the projects I'm done with. I have access to a server that also houses all of my original footage so I'd like to archive my projects/events to there and delete them from my local hard drive so that my computer is lightning fast again.
When I go to File > Move Project the location pull-down menu only has one option: No Value and doesn't allow me to pick where to move the files to. Error Message reads: "You don't have permission to write files to the choosen destination."
When I go to File > Duplicate Project, I choose Project + Used Clips (I have all of my original and Pro-Res footage on the server already, no need to copy them again, right?) it creates a new "Clips for [project name here]" folder in the Final Cut Projects folder in my Movies folder on my hard drive. It seems like there's a lot less content in this "Clips for" folder than in the original and it makes me nervous, but I understand that since I'm only checking "Project + Used Clips" there is bound to be less content than ALL of the clips I originally had in my event when I was editing and wanted access to all of my footage.
1. Is this all I need to drag onto the server? When I go to open the project in the future from the server will it have "broken links"?
2. Can I then delete the original project folder from my hard drive?
3. Do I need to check "Include Render files" when duplicating? What exactly does including these do for me in the future?
4. If I drag this duplicated project do I need to drag the separate Events folder with it? Or was that taken care of with the duplicate function? A lot of my projects reference the same events so I'm afraid if I move one event folder for one project it will screw it up for another.
I've also read about "hiding" my FCP projects and events in different folders on my system and then they won't open when I open FCPX. Problem is, I don't want all that extra footage on my hard drive slowing down my computer when it's already on the server somewhere.
Hope this all makes sense and thank you in advance for your help!

Thanks so much for responding! That all makes sense, and I was concerned about editing from the server directly because of bottlenecking, so I will continue to have my current project on my local drive and then move it later.
Can you clarify this for me:
"create a sparse disk image on the server, mount it"
Does that mean I create a "shortcut" on my desktop to the area in the server where it goes and then archive my projects to it?
One more question, when I hide my events/files as you show in your screenshot, isn't it still housing my footage on my local drive and therefore eating up space?
A disk image is a special kind of file that you can double click and mount as if it were a hard disk.
The word "sparse" means that it will grow only as you add content to it. So you can create a sparse disk image with size, say, 50GB, but if you only add files that occupy 1GB, that's the space it will take on disk; it will grow as needed to accomodate more files (assuming the actual disk where the image resides has available space, of course). You create disk images in Disk Utility.
You probably have used disk images a lot without maybe realizing it. The dmg files that contain installers for many applications are disk images.
Regarding the hidden events: yes, if they are still on the drive they will still occupy space. If the matter is freeing space on the drive, this will not help; but if the matter is making FCP X work faster and use less memory, it will.
And you could just as well take the events and "hide" them in a different drive.

CPS Simple File Deployer corrupts XLSX and DOCX files when copying to server. Solutions?

When Contribute Publishing Service Simple File Deployment copies XLSX and DOCX files from our staging server to the live production web server, it is corrupting them. The resulting file on the live web server is a few bytes different in size. I published a 9015-byte docx file to our staging server using Dreamweaver (or Contribute). The resulting file on the staging server opens correctly and remains 9015 bytes. Then, using CPS Simple File Deployer, I deployed the file from our staging server to our live web server. The resulting file on the live web server is 9017 bytes, and it won't open. Something similar happens with XLSX files. It works fine with XLS, DOC, Html etc. Well, there is an issue with dependent files unless I synchronize with Dreamweaver, but that's another story.
Once File Deployer has corrupted the files, opening them brings a message, such as "Excel has found unreadable content in filename.xlsx. . . ". With Word, it says "The Office Open XML file filename.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents . . . The file is corrupt and cannot be opened." Sometimes the docx files can be recovered, but that doesn't help.
When I take the same original docx file and put it on the web server with an FTP program, it remains 9015 bytes and opens successfully on the live web server.
For several reasons, such as many users updating the website with Adobe Contribute and not let them use FTP directly to the live server, we need to keep the staging server and use File Deployer (or something) to deploy the changed files from the staging server to the live website.
I read somewhere that the programming code the uploads files can have problems and fail to work properly with Office 2007 files. I don't have access to CPS's core.ctc and deployfile.cfc files, and I don't have Cold Fusion.
Any suggestions?
Dean

Try:
Open My Computer.
Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
Select the File Types tab.
Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open.
In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

Web Module Project and Javascript file

Hi,
I have developep my Web Module Project. Now i want integrate in the project a javascript file and call it from a html
file or a servlet. How can I do it??? In which folder of the project I have to save the javascript file??? (ex. script.js)....There is a tool in NWDS to manipulate javascript file???
THANKS

Hi,
You can place the js file inside webcontetnt folder itself. If there are lots of files, then create a folder called JS and paste the file inside this folder. Then you can use this file from JSP like this.
< script language="JavaScript" src = 'script.js'>
or
< script language="JavaScript" src = 'JS\script.js'>
Generally, JS files can be opened using notepad or wordpad from NWDS. There is no specific tool for it. Hope that answers your query.
