Setting Default File Location

Hi All,
Just installed Premiere Pro CS5 and have found difficulty in locating where to set the global location for the scratch disks. The only place I have located so far is in the project file. If this is only place, to have to set the scratch disk each time is rather onerous. Hopefully someone can point me to the (hidden) location for setting this globally.
Regards
Andrew

Thanks - think our situations are a bit different. I have multiple users on the single system so reminding each to set the scratch drive each time they create a project will be a mission.
We used to have Premiere Elements which had a single scratch location, within which each project had its own subfolder. Hence my expectation that Pro would operate in the same way.
Perhaps Adobe could provide us with the option of working both ways - a global setting which can be overridden within the project.

  • How to set default file location in Illustrator?

    I'm using Creative Suite CS5 in Windows Pro 64, and would like to set a default location for files in Illustrator and Photoshop when I execute the File > Open or File > Save commands.
    Yes, the program defaults to the location of the last file opened, but sometimes that file is gone, or I'm creating a new one from scratch, and the program looks for files in a distant place in my file structure.
    ** Is it possible to set a default file location for opening and saving in Illustrator CS5 (and in Photoshop CS5)?
    Thanks.

    Not that I know of. It simply reverts to the global "My Documents"/ "Documents" folder as provided by your operating system. these can of course be changed using variables and editing the Windows Registry/ Group Policies, but that affects all programs...

  • Default File Location for Word using GPO

    I have just launched Office 2013 for my users.   Those users access Word and Excel via Terminal Servers.   So, I need ways to set the defaults for these products so I don't have to touch each users login/machine.   I have been
    able to use Group Policy for everything I need except in Word and the default file location.   I have tried the GPO administrative template for Office 2013 and went to Microsoft Word 2013 > Word Options > Advanced > File Locations and set
    the path to N:\
    Did the gpupdate /force and nothing changed.                               However, Group Policy will set
    it in Excel.
    So then I tried using the registry template in GPO.     Here I used HKEY_CURRENT_USER with path to
    Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options and the value name is DefaultPath
    Value data is N:\
    That doesn't work either.
    HOW are we suppose to set defaults to our network in Word.
    I have also did the entry in GPO to "block signing into Office"                     None Allowed
    We don't and won't be using SkyDrive in our type of business

    Hi,
    Based on my tested in my environment, I went to set the Default File Location via group policy.
    Word: Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Location/ and change the Default File Location
    Excel: Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save and change Default file location
    Both of them works fine. As you said " However, Group Policy will set it in Excel." Does it mean that you set Word and Excel via two group policies at the same time, but it only works in Excel?
    If it is, please try to re-download and change the
    Word ADMX to test.
    If the issue still exist, please try to use Gpresult command Or RSOP to check group policy result on client.
    When troubleshooting group policy issues, we use the gpresult command to confirm whether GPOs are really applied to the client (computer/user). You can run the following command in a command prompt:
    gpresult /z > c:\policy.txt
    For more details about the usage of command Gpresult, please refer to the following link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490915.aspx
    When you read the output, the c:\policy.txt file in this sample, please
    examine the results of the report to find the answers to these questions.
    Does the report list the particular GPO as applied?
    Is the setting listed in the report?
    Is the GPO listed in the Denied List

  • N70 Music Files - Default File Location

    When I transfer music to my N70 using PC Suite, the default file location is \Sounds\Digital. Should I just change the default to \Music, or is there some reason why this location is the default?

    No AFAIK it does not matter where you put it, Music manager scans for your tracks and plays them.
    If you would like to keep it tidy and have your music in one place I can not see any harm it pointing it at another folder.

  • Setting project default file locations and a few random interface questions

    I apologize for the randomness of this post, but it seemed better than spamming a bunch of different posts in a short period of time.  I've been using Premiere Elements 9 for about 6 months now and there are a few little things that I'd like to tweak.
    I'd like to change the default file save location for a project.  I've got different projects in different folders and it seems like I should be able to set a default save location for each project.  All I've ever been able to find in the help is how to set the scratch folder, which is different.
    I'd like to change the default encoding preset for a project.  For example, I have a custom preset for mp4 under the mobile phone category.  It would be nice to have that be the default whenever I pick the mobile phone category.
    With birthdays and concerts and plays and all that stuff I have about 50 videos and a couple hundred large photos already.  Every time Premiere loads, it takes a few extra seconds to load up all of the thumbnails.  I hide all the videos and pictures on the Organize tab and save the project, but it never sticks.  Is this just impossible?
    Finally, every so often, the end-of-clip marker acts funny.  I don't know what the proper name for it is, but it is the thing under the mouse cursor in the picture below.  It used to automatically move on the time line as I added or deleted clips.  Somehow I clicked a button and it no longer does that.  After a week or so of not working, it goes back to automatically adjusting as I add and delete clips from the timeline and then it will break again.  Ideas?
    Also in the timeline, I now have this huge gap of nothingness on top of video 1, see picture.  My ocd says that Video1 and Audio 1 should be at the very top and the gap should be on the bottom.  Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I kind of wish you'd have spread these questions out over a couple of posts so that we could answer each thoroughly. If I answer all of them in depth in a single post, this answer would be the size of one of my books! (which, by the way, contain many of the answers to these questions.)
    1. The default save location for your videos should be the last place you've saved your video to. So that should happen automatically. Although in my books I recommend that, whenever you start a new project, you create a new folder for it. This is good housekeeping and a good way to keep your tmp and render files in the same place on your drive, which has a number of advantages.
    2. You can't create a custom project preset. The only presets available are the ones Adobe provides. And, although they are pretty extensive, some non-traditional formats (like video from some mobile phones) are not well supported. You may be able to get it to work -- but it's usually a hybrid solution and, personally, if you plan to use your phone's video as your main video source, I'd recommend you look at another video editing program. Premiere Elements doesn't do the hybrid stuff well. It's ideally suited for video from traditional camcorders.
    3. The thumbnails you see when the program loads are not in your current project. At least not until you import them into your Project panel. That Media panel is merely a preview to what's in your Organizer catalog. As I explain in my book, it's usually best to ignore this panel until you really learn your way around the basics of this program. It's very confusing. Fortunately, it adds very little load time to the program itself -- regardless of how much time it seems to add.
    4. The thing in the illustration is the Work Area Bar. It's used to isolate a segment of your timeline for rendering, etc. Usually, it will shrink and grow as you add and remove video from your timeline. Unfortunately, there's a bug in version 9 and, if you manually change it once during a project, you'll have to manually change it for the rest of the time you work on the project. But, if you drag each end of the Work Area Bar to cover your entire timeline of videos, your project shouldn't misbehave.
    5. The "gap of nothingness" on your timeline is just room for you to add more audio and video tracks if you'd like to. It's a good thing to have! BTW, as I'm sure you know (and my books, once again, explain) you can toggle the tracks on your timeline so that they display as either compressed (as in your illustration) or wide open, which allows you to see your clips and control audio and video levels. Once again, this is a very good thing!
    Happy moviemaking.

  • How to set default file path for save

    Hello all,
    I'm currently blocked on the below issue and is hoping to gain your help and insights.
    We have recently upgraded to InDesign CS6. Now when an INDD file created in an older version of INDD is opened in CS6, all the save dialogs would not default to the location of the original INDD file. Though if the same file is opened in the version of InDesign that created it, the save dialog goes to the proper location by default.
    Debugged using our custom plugin as a gate way, and found out that after InDesign CS6 performed the document upgrade/convert, the database for the converted document loses file information. i.e.  IDataBase::GetSysFile() returns nil. I think we can figure out some way to get the original file path. For example, we can intercept "kAfterOpenDocSignalResponderService", and get the original file path of the opened file from IDocumentSignalData. Though I haven't yet able to figure out a safe way to set this file path to the document, so that the save dialogs would by default point at this path.
    Utils<Facade::IWorkgroupFacade>()->InitDocumentAssetManagement(docRef, filePath) seems to do the right thing, but it seems to be quite intruding, and I'm afraid that it is overkilling and will cause bad side effect for the use case I'm looking for.
    So I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions to achieve this without implementing/overriding the file save dialog.
    Thanks.
    -Jeff

    You should be able to avoid writing your own open-doc trap by using kDocBoss's IOpenedFileInfo to obtain the original file's path. It seems fairly reliable; the only time I've seen it come up empty is for an opened QuarkXPress document.
    I'm afraid I don't know of a sanctioned way to change IDataBase::GetSysFile() without going through the database's SaveAs machinery. Overriding this behavior might only be possible by replacing the regular Save dialog with your own.
    But if InitDocumentAssetManagement() is helping, maybe the workgroup/asset management approach is worth pursuing. Have you tried spying on that call in the debug app? You might be able to isolate and use one of the commands that it's invoking (IAMSPManager::BindAsset() / kSetAssetAttributesCmdBoss?) without all of the side-effects of the higher-level call.

  • Itunes default file location - how do i change it?

    Hi, can anyone help. for some reason, itunes defaults to a folder on my works network, and so when off line at home itunes will not work. i need to change the file location so that itunes looks at my local drive and i can use it off line to upload my CD collection whilst at home. no matter what i do, it tries to look for my network folder.
    it is driving me mad now so can anyone help?
    thanks

    I find the opposite behaviour:
    In options I set drive to network, but iTunes itself changes to lokal by no recognizable reason. Everytime I set the drive location back to network, the catalog is being renewed, taking heaps of time...

  • Export/Unload Default File Location

    Version 1.5.5 used the last location as the default for exporting a result set. Version 2.1.1.64 always uses Documents and Settings\etc. as the default. The documentation says this can be changed in user preferences, but either the documentation is wrong or there is some kind of nomenclature I don't understand in the preferences section.
    So: is it still possible change the default location for exports, or (should I finally reorganize my hard drive to reflect Windows defaults.)
    Documentation:
    File: If the output is to a file, click Browse to select the directory or folder and to specify the file name and extension. The file path is then placed in the File box. (The default file path for export operations is specified in the SQL Developer user preferences for Database.) Standard file extensions include .sql for Insert format, .xls for Microsoft Excel format, .xml for XML format, .ctl for SQL LOADER format, and .csv for CSV format.
    If there's already an answer, I apologize. I tried searching 3-5 times but came up with copious entries with the word "export" in them no matter what other words I included in the search string.

    In 2.x, that was Preferences - Database - Select default path to store export in.
    Have fun,

  • Default file location when calling report from Forms 10G

    I've tried this in the reports forum, but it applies equally to forms I guess..
    Hi,
    I've managed to put together a routine for running a report from a 10G Form. In 6i I specified a "relative path" to my report name as follows:-
    "Run_Product(REPORTS, '..\Reports\myreportname', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL); "
    In 10G I would like to just specify the report name, rather than the full file path. Can I specify a relative file path - or alternatively can I set the default report location in a configuration file?
    At the moment I'm having to specify something like:
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_FILENAME,
    'c:\oracle\systemname\reports\myreportname.RDF');
    I would like to just have:
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_FILENAME,
    'myreportname.RDF');
    Many thanks,
    Keith.

    Do you run your application on an application server?
    If so you should use the REPORTS_PATH environment variable (in windows registry entry).
    Alternatively you could use an environmentid in the reports.conf-file:
    <server version="10.1.2.0.2">
    <environment id="YOURID">
    <envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="C:\......"/>
    </environment>
    You call the report with the parameter &envid=YOURID in the URL.

  • CS4 Set default file type when placing file

    The File->Place dialog box has a default file type of 'Importable files.'  Is it possible to set the default to All files (or anything else)?  Making the change manually does not seem to stick.  I have the same general question regarding File->Open.  A search of the forums returned one hit (unanswered) in the Dreamweaver forum.
    Thank you.
    Dick Conrad

    Peter:
    Good question.  One of our editors made this request, and I believe that he works with files that lack extensions.  But controlling the default would also let us go in the other direction: quickly see only .rtf or .txt files, for example.
    Any trick would be impractical if it lived in InDesign Defaults.  All ID users get the same copy, and no two editors would want the same filter.
    Thanks for your response.

  • Will EC support setting default file type and Open With from file menu?

    The default file types I can live without, but at least allow for Open With on right click from Windows Explorer.
    I currently have EC set in the Open With programs list, but EC does not comply for any files I opt to open it with (.css, .php, .html etc).
    EC open but not the file I choose.
    Also, even though the above use case is not ideal when if I do attempt an Open With when EC is already open, a new application session starts instead of attempting to open in the currently active app frame. It would be ideal to allow for single app frame, multiple files when Open With is employed.
    Darrell

    Hey Darrell,
    Thanks for the feedback. How Edge Code treats files is definitely something we know isn't ideal and it's something we're looking at fixing soon. There's currently a story on the Brackets backlog that adresses the Open With issue - https://trello.com/c/GhF1Bgf9
    And it based on howit ranks in that priority it looks like we could potentially take that into Edge Code over the next couple of months.
    This is definitely a feature that we think is important before we consider ourselves 1.0 so it's high priority.

  • Set default File Export Form for Communication Medium?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know whether it's possible to set a default File Export Form for Communication Medium.
    For example, I created communication medium 'Direct Mailing'. Everytime when a user selects this communication medium in a Marketing Campaign, I would like the File Export Form 'Z_DIRECT_MAILING' to be selected automatically. Is this possible?
    Regards,
    Jeroen

    @ Rienk - That isn't my issue, what I was looking for was to have the last setting I selected (either in Batch Export or in QT Movie Export) "Stick" so when I go to do the next set I don't have to re-select all of my settings.
    @ Nick - Not a good thing in this case. I need to send out QTs that have the speed change "baked-in" and convert the format(to ProRes, so the Color Grading session using "Color" doesn't choke. I changed my Sequence: "Settings > QuickTime Video Settings > Compressor" to ProRes, but the "Current Setting" seems to stick to the original clip's capture format (XDCAM EX).

  • Setting Default File Availability

    Is it possible to set the SendNow default file availability at something other than 30 days?  I would like to set availability at 14 days and leave it, rather than set it at each send. Wonderful online service! Feels as if it was made for us. Thanks.
