Two projects, One scratch disk.

I've been working on a project using FCE 3.5 and scratch disk Maxtor II 250G. Over 100 gigs still free on disk. Now I've captured footage and would like to download to the same drive. However, I did not partition when I began the entire process. Is my universe going to implode and my world come to a screeching halt if I download direct to the same hard drive? Would FCE recognize the projects and keep them separate according to the way I import? Thks!

The media captured inside each project will be in a separate folder in Capture Scratch with project name.

  • One scratch disk - 2 macs - can't open projects

    I cut a bunch if projects on my macbook using a g-raid 500 gig HD as my scratch disk. Firewire.
    Now, I've transfered all the files/info off my macbook to my iMac. The mac-to-mac firewire transfer. I've been over seas in Afghanistan on deployment...now I want to work on my home computer.
    I digress. Hooked up the g-raid to my iMac, tried to open a project and got this: "File error: Access denied"
    I thought everything should work being that all the settings, everything, was transfered off my macbook to the iMac. I want to use that g-raid HD as a scratch disk on both computers.
    All help is welcomed. Thank you.

    When I hit the drop down arrow to "sharing permissions," it gives me 3 options -- (1) my name, "read and write, or, read only...(2) "no access" and the same options...(3) "everyone" the same options, plus "no access."
    So frustrating. Seems like I should just be able to plug and chug with the hard drive. All the settings on my macbook and imac should be identicle. The project loads on my macbook. I'm pulling my fricking hair out here.
    For what it's worth, it's a shoot of a memorial ceremony I shot in Afghanistan. One of my closest friends was killed in action. I'm responsible for cutting the package and personally delivering it to his family, and I can't even get the frickin' thing to jive with my imac.

  • How do I transfer my project from one scratch disk to another?

    My current scratch disk is too slow because it uses WiFi and I'm wanting to transfer all my work from my current disk to another. How do I do this?

    Copy all the media files associated with your project to the other drive (preferably a Firewire connected 7200rpm hard drive).  Don't worry about the render files; they usually don't reconnect properly.  After copying the files, delete the originals (but don't empty the trash yet) and then open the project and you will need to reconnect the media files by navigating to the new location.  You'll also need to set the new location as the Capture/Scratch disk in FCE's preferences.
    Once that's completed, re-render.

  • Two projects, one module.

    Experts,
    We have a situation in which an ABAP project, Project A, has been ongoing for several months and has not yet been deployed to the production system.
    A new high priority project, Project B, has come along which will involve changes in many of the same modules which have been modified for Project A.
    The ABAP development team has been tasked with coming up with a way that Project B can be developed, tested and deployed to production independently of Project A.  The problem is that Project A must also continue to be developed and tested during the same time-frame.  We are not allowed to "back out" Project A by reverting the versions.
    We are on 4.6c.
    What does this community recommend as away to accomplish this?
    thanks,
    -Roger

    The only time I have seen that warning is when the containment relationship does not have any public names defined ... An additional warning appears if a public name is defined for one direction but not the other.
    Try the following ...
    1.     Create new Project “ModuleTest”
    2.     Add properties file to project – “ModuleTest_Properties”
    3.     Open Properties File
    4.     Add new entity – “TestEntity” using all defaults
    5.     Edit TestEntity to set public name to “TE”
    6.     Edit the automatically created attribute of TE to set the public name to “TE_ID”
    7.     Select Build->Module from menu ... you should see the warning: “… cannot be exported because its containment relationship …” and another warning ...
    8.     Double click on the containment warning message and it should take you to the relationship edit dialog for the automatically created (containment) relationship between global and TestEntity
    9.     Specify a public name “TE_Containment” AND the reverse (public name) “TE_Containment_Reverse” and click OK
    10.     Select Build->Module from menu again and no warnings should appear
    If this works as expected and your policy model is producing warnings, then click on each warning to determine the source of the warning.

  • Flex: two projects, one OK, other POP-UP blocker

    I created a sample application with Flex after compiling and saving runs OK with default IE browser.
    I imported another application but before showing in IE a pop-up blocker shows up.
    Is there any configuration I should include in one of the files to prevent this for the application imported?  (There is no navigatetoURL in the application I imported)
    Kind regards

    I had exactly the same problem. Would like to know if someone can solve it.
    By the way, my iPod Touch could only play lecture 1 of the Programming Paradigm course. All the remaining lectures starting from lecture 2 have the same problem of only audio plays but no video.

  • Please help me setup CS4 scratch disks etc

    Hey everyone
    I just bought CS4 Premiere Pro and I really want to set it up correctly.
    I am editing 1080p AVCHD video from my Canon HG21 HD Camera, but I need to find out how to properly set up scratch disks etc.
    I guess you have the program running on one hard drive, the media that you are editing on another, and a scratch disk on another hard drive?
    I don't totally understand how to set this up.
    My current rig is an i7 920, 6gb 1600 mhz ram, 4870x2, 3 WD HDD's. The HDD the program is installed on is a 7200 rpm drive but I think the others are 5400? I'll have to check that out.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Harm,
    Thanks for your reply! I just checked and all three of them are 7,200 RPM drives, I will set my projects and scratch disks as you advised.
    Also just a quick question, I am using the following preset on Premiere Pro CS4 with my Canon HG21 Camera, but how will I know for sure that it's the correct preset to use with the footage that I will be using from the camera? Sorry it's a pretty amateurish question but I am really starting from the ground up and would like to get things right from the start:
    AVCHD>1080p: AVCHD 1080p25
    For editing AVCHD Formats recorded in 1920x1080 square pixels (non-anamorphic).
    16:9 progressive-scan 1080p HD video at 25 frames per second.
    48kHz audio.
    General
    Editing mode: AVCHD 1080p square pixel
    Timebase: 25.00fps
    Video Settings
    Frame size: 1920h 1080v (1.0000)
    Frame rate: 25.00 frames/second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
    Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)

  • Problem with Scratch Disk - CS4 - Mac

    Under project settings, scratch disks, I have set everything to a folder on my external drive, and it shows me for each item that there is 1TB of space available.  I am attempting to capture from my Panasonic camera.   As soon as I start capturing, it shows me I only have 27.2MB of space available!  This doesn't make any sense at all, and is not even enough space to capture this half-hour of footage; the capture keeps dropping frames and will only capture about 10 min of film.
    I don't understand this program.  Every time I capture video it seems to take up an unbelievably HUGE amount of space on my internal hard-drive.  I have deleted everything I can find to delete on my internal drive, and deleted the trash as well, and it does show that I have 15 gigs available internally, but Premiere just can't seem to find enough space. 
    WHY, when I'm giving it 1 terabyte of space to use, does it tell me I only have 27MB of space available??  This should have taken me only half an hour to capture (I did one earlier that was just fine, but that seems to have taken the last bit of space available) and instead I have wasted the past 4 hours trying to figure this out.
    Please help!!!

    OMG - even tried rebooting my computer to clear RAM etc... and STILL it is showing me "Remaining disk space: 27.22 MB."  I just cannot figure this out!  And why did it capture just fine prior to trying this one (can't remember how much disk space it was showing me then, but I recall it was a lot more than 2 megabytes)?  I didn't change any settings...
    The program will only capture 9min ~25sec, then it says something like "unexpected recorder error" and stops the capture.
    I really need to be able to capture this stuff - HELP, please???!!!

  • Split Project in two Projects

    In one of my projects there are about 2000 pics made in two different countries. Because in Places view I always see both countries on the map, I decided to split the Project in two Projects - one for each country. How can I do this without losing the Places assignments? Thanks!

    Each Image in your Library carries its own Places assignment.  You can move any Image into any Project and it will retain its specific Places information.
    All you need to do is select all of the Images you want to put in your new Project, and "File→New→Project" w. "Move selected items to new project" checked.
    There are several ways to select the Images for just one or your two countries.  If you need suggestions, post back (the best way depends a bit on your use of Places and other metadata).
    Generally, users have found Aperture works better with Projects kept to fewer than 1,000 Images.  This was the case when 3.0 first came out -- I haven't tested any later versions, as I stick with the generally recommended "One Project for each out-in-the-world Shoot" and I rarely bring back more than 500 exposures per shoot.
    (For what it's worth -- the human world had a very different level of material sophistication -- Ansel Adams took 12 plates with him for a day's shooting expedition in Yosemite.  Twelve shots for the day, including mis-takes.)

  • 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.

  • Cannot complete your request because the scratch disks are full

    When I attempt to crop a photo I get this message: Cannot complete your request because the scratch disks are full. In fact one scratch disk has 62+ GB and the other has 52+ GB available. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    @Mylenium: My computer is running 64 bit Windows 7 Pro, 16 GB Ram, AMD Radeon 6900 series with I don't remember how many GB of ram (I installed it maybe 2 1/2 or 3 years ago). I have 4 physical hard drives with Raid 0 and Raid 5 configurations. I have been using my system full bore since I built it, and the entire configuration has been excellent for my processes until now. Is there any other specific information that you would need to have an idea of what the problem may be? Thanks.
    @ JJMack: My scratch disk available volumes were wide open with 62 GB available (S: drive) and 52 GB available (O: drive). I'm puzzled because I have used this configuration on my computer for the past 2 1/2+ years with flawless function. I'm not new to setting up and configuring my computer, but I'm new to this odd error message.

  • Use Ext. HD for Scratch Disk

    I have to edit a large project.... a very large project.  I have no other option but to use my MacBook Pro, and I wish to use my external hd to save my project and scratch disks.  Whenever I attempt to set my scratch disk to my external drive, PP (CS5) won't allow me to.  Why?  and can I fix this?
    *please keep in mind, i'm a beginner PP user (let alone a beginner Adobe user)*

    What KIND of external?

  • Different Scratch Disk Per FCP Project

    I love FCP Studio and swear by it for most things. I'll cut straight to the point...
    I want to be able to set my scratch disk location (capture scratch, render files, audio render files) as a project based setting NOT a system wide setting, and I want FCP to remember this setting for each project.
    I am very frustrated with the fact that you can't set the scratch disk to different locations per project, as I am constantly changing the location depending on what I am working on, and sometimes I forget and I'm working off the wrong drive.
    Also, sometimes I'm multi-tasking and working on two or more projects for different clients off of different mobile drives. This becomes a big cluster f$!k when I'm forced to render and digitize everything to one drive yet I'm working off of several removable drives that I need to take with me at some point. I need elements for each project to stay on their own drive!
    Now, I understand that my need goes outside the real of the normal editor, and may actually cause a larger fundamental back-end issue that I am not aware of, but is it asking too much to have the scratch disk setting a project based setting, and not a system setting?
    It seems to me that FCP could just remember where you want to point your files to depending on what project you are working in?
    Any ideas? Am I missing an obvious solution? Any 3rd party software out there to help with this?

    I absolutely love the ability to set different drives for different file types if we choose.
    But it should be a PROJECT setting not a System wide preference.
    This thread is just another example of why it should be that way.

  • "The scratch disks are write protected or unavailable" on NEW project on PrE

    I am running PrE 10 on Windows 7 64 bit.  My computer has two internal hard drives (C and E).  I want to put my projects and all scratch disks on E, the non-OS drive.  When I try to create a NEW project and designate a directory I have already created on E, I get the following message from PrE 10:
    "The scratch disks are write protected or unavailable..."
    The program won't let me use E.  However, when I check the drive, it HAS created a .PRV directory in the Preview Files directory and a .prel file in the Encoded Files directory.  So it is actually able to write to drive E.
    What gives?  Thanks.
    Jon

    Thanks, Bill and John.
    I am running from an administrator account, but I wasn't running "as administrator."  I had already changed the permissions to give everybody everything.
    Here is what I discovered.  Running "as administrator" made no difference.  So I ran the program "normally" again.  Then I discovered that although the program was giving me the "The scratch disks are write protected or unavailable..." message, it was actually setting things up properly on my E drive.  When I continued to use the newly created project, the correct directories and files had been set up on my E drive, and I was able to direct my captures to that drive as well.  I haven't done much work on the project yet, but it appears to be working just fine so far.
    I just now created ANOTHER new project on the E drive, and PrE did NOT give me the error message.  Everything got set up properly.  Hmm.  It looks as if that message it put out in error, or, at the very least, unhelpfully!
    By the way, what is Encore, and how would it play a part here?
    Thanks.

  • How do I prevent Premiere from placing the scratch disk onto the 'same as project" folder

    I start a project by resetting the default scratch disc settings from “same as project” (which is on my “G” drive) to another hard drive where I have always stored defaults on CS3 (the “D” drive). I never had to redo my scratch disks when I created a new project in CS3. Now I need to redo them every time. If I open an older project in CS5 it automatically places all scratch disk files onto the G drive. How do I prevent Premiere from placing all scratch disk information onto the G drive before I open an older file? By the time I get around to changing the location, Premiere has already begun saving scratch disk information on the wrong disk.
    However I have another related problem. When I import an older project to nest it in a new project, the scratch discs mysteriously change back from the D drive where I set it up to the “G” drive. I finally discovered this when I reopen the project and all previews disappeared and it had defaulted back to the G drive.

    Thanks. Now I know that anytime I import a CS3 project file into a CS5 project, that it will change the whole project scratch disk settings to the default without warning. 
    One wouldn’t think that just one imported file would change the whole overall project file (out of many imported files…not project files that do not); it is odd that Premiere changes the setting of the new overall Cs5 project without warning.

  • Multiple Projects & Scratch Disks?

    When having multiple projects on the go at the same time, how does one seperate scratch disks so all projects save the relevant info to the correct folders without having to change the scratch disk every time I go to a new project?
    Hoping this question makes sense and thanks in advance as always.

    You can't, but each project has its own folder in the
