Working on two machines - what about the media cache ?

I'm a long time user of FCP just getting my head around Premiere Pro CS5.5. I quite often work on the same project at work and at home. With FCP I simply duplicated the media onto another drive and just transported the project file on a flash disk - obviously rendering of effects would have to be done locally.
Now with Premiere I notice there's the media cache which, as far as I can tell, is not necessarily anything to do with rendering and effects but related and applied to every clip.
So my question is, will the media cache have to be built from scratch on each machine every time I move the project file ?
If so, is there a way to avoid this so that I wont have to wait for it to build the media cache ?
....or on a 30 minute film with 15 hours of original media will this will this be a quick process so as not to be a problem ?
I suppose what I'm really asking is how can I easily work on the same project in different locations ?
Any help appreciated.

At the moment my media cache is in my user library folder on the system drive.
I would avoid using the system drive for media cache files.
The best would be to have a separate, identically named drive
(D for example) for your media cache.
If you use an external drive for your media, make sure that
you assign the same drive letter to this drive on both systems.
... and then duplicate the lot onto another drive ?
I have never tried to wholesale copy media cache files from one
system to another... preferring to allow Premiere to generate a
cache for each system.
One other thing. Suppose I capture some more media at work, can I just copy this media into the same location on my home drive and then will the media cache on my home machine just update the new media ?
Yes.

TS4002 iCloud was off for two hours, what about the messages sent in that particular time window?

my account was off for two hours due to overloaded mailbox, is it possible that some messages were sent to me at that time and therefore I won't receive those messages sent to my account during those two hours? Thanks...

Messages sent to you while your mailbox is full would've been bounced back to the sender.

C: SSD, D: HDD 5400 - works well but what with the media catch files??

Hello there, I'd like to ask a question:
I do not have a lot of money to spend, so I'm not really enthusiastic about buying new hardware. I just bought a new SSD - Samsung 840 Pro 128GB (C: drive) and installed beside Win7 64bit, the CS6 Premiere Pro. By that I have a WD 1,5TB 5400 harddisk (D: drive). I know you recomend a 7200 disk, but as for the money situation, I just wanted to try it. Everything worked fine at first glance, but then I searched the internet and came to Harm Millaards discussion about the Media Catch Files - as it's no good idea to put them on the SSD disk. This was standard in preferences set to the C: SSD, so I switched them to my D: drive instead of the C:. The same I did about the Scratch disks/files (don't actually know what they are though :-/). Is this correct?
After the change of the Media Catch files to D: the playback while editing is not quite well working anymore. Did I do they right steps and does this then mean I should buy a HDD 7200 for the media catch files and as a scratch disk (which I don't understand what it is)? Will that help, or should I do something else to have it working as it was working when these files were saved on the SSD?
Thanks a lot for your help, Thomas
PS. other hardware I have:
8GB RAM
intel i5 2500K procesor
Geforce 295

The pagefile is a dedicated file created and managed by Windows. It has no relation with PR. Windows uses it as a virtual memory file to store data that don't fit in the physical memory of your system. The lower your physical memory, the more Windows uses the pagefile. It is somewhat similar to growing older and you need to remind more stuff, but you tend to forget, so you write it down. On all systems I suggest to use a static pagefile, on that has minimum size and maximum size the same dimensions, so for instance a fixed size of 32 GB. If you do not make it static, but let Windows manage the size, as is default, you can get fragmentation of this file and it requires - on each change of size by Windows - new writes to the FAT, which reduces the lifespan of your SSD.
Your setup is exactly what my analogy alluded to. You are right.

This is a two part question about the creative 16gb Zen?

8This is a two part question about the creative 6gb Zen? First of all, my battery life dropped very suddenly. One charge I was getting the full 30 hour battery life and the next it dropped to under ten. I tried using their tips on how to extend the battery life and I am still getting less than 0 hours of battery life. Why would it dropped more than half the amount between charges? I tried recharging it after it ran out and still the same thing. Any help?
Second, (I am adding this question because it might relate to the first in some way) my mp3 player has been behaving strangely lately. For example, some artists sometimes have letters removed or all but the first end up being removed. But, if you reset the player, the artists go back to the full name. Also, my player has been taking a little longer than usual to turn on. It takes about 30 seconds to turn on instead of the 5-0 that I'm used to. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
My Zen is only 4 months old, and I would be very upset it it's breaking already. Please, if you have any suggestions on how I can fix what's happening, post them. (Even if they?probably won't work, they're worth a try.)

< This is an unusual one; never heard of it before. All I can suggest is cleaning up and perhaps reflashing the firmware. If it still is doing this, then get the thing exchanged pronto.
My guess is that the problems are indeed closely related.

Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

I agree - it's all about preference. I use the ThinkTank Retrospective 7. I *love* ThinkTank's attention to detail... everything from having a rain cover included with the bag, to having ingenius use of velcro (sp?) patches to enable you to "silence" the bag so it doesn't make the big "SCRATCH" sound when opening the bag during a quiet event, etc.
My best advice would be to do your research (which you're clearly doing) and have a clear understanding of the return policy wherever you buy it, and then don't be afraid to return it if you get it and feel it doesn't meet your needs. A restocking fee is a small price to pay to not be stuck with a bag that doesn't work for you. And if for any reason you get it and can't return it, there's always eBay.

I want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd?

i want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd? Can i use idvd?

The only Programms I worked with are DVD Studio Pro and iDVD. You can burn a Video-DVD with Toast but there is no real option to design your Menu. Just a few themes as far as I discovered.
Do you have a Blue Ray Device to burn* the HD-DVD? Are the Bride and Groom able to watch the Blue Ray?
* which is only possible with DVD Studio Pro and not iMovie as far as I know.
This might help
For better quality I would go the Compressor & DVD Studio Pro workflow I just learned.
Export the Movie as is from Final Cut Pro and then use Compressor to encode the File.
Consider delivering the Movie in a different way like a private video on vimeo, a Website or on an SD card which is not really romantic...

BBM Across Platform, what about the older devices?

Yes, as we all heard is that bbm is coming to android and Iphone. We all know that BB10 does not us BIS and the older devicec need BIS to operate to the full, why can blackberry not open this to all so that i can bbm without BIS on my older device? yesBIS is nice but what about the people that want to use their older phones like the BB10.
Only some features work without BIS, like the excample whatsapp, browser but all the good stuff like Blackberry world are blocked as well as Blackberry Protect, Facebook and so i can go on ....
Let the people that want BIS get it like that and the other that want it without BIS get it like that then Blackberre will be more flexible.
Cant they see they will now loose more customers to the other platforms where they can keep the people on the older native devices ....Please Blackberry UNBLOCK US ....

Yes, 1.19GB of "other" is normal. Normal is a little over 1GB.

I have to reinstall WIN 7 Pro on my PC, what about the CC app's? Can I reinstall them later again?

I have to reinstall WIN 7 Pro on my PC, what about the CC app's? Can I reinstall them later again?

The CC has been activated twice on 26th April &28th April 2014. You need to deactivate it first from any of the CC installed .
(Activation & Deactivation Help)
The other option is to deactivate it while installing for the third time. this will deactivate CC from both the earlier installed machines(I understand, it is being reinstalled on one of machine which had CC).
To reactivate it on the one of the previous machine, you need to launch any product, there shall be a prompt
, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.

Mifi 4510L Mifi Hotspot...is it the network? and what about the firmware update?

I have spent several months trying to seek a solution on the repeated and frequent disconnects from the Verizon wireless network using my Mifi 4510 L. No success. I have conversed with Verizon Wireless "experts" on this matter and have basically been ignored, since they do not have a solution. It has cost me a pretty penny in wireless costs due to lost connections in downloads, etc...for which I do not get any credit from Verizon on my wireless bill...go figure.
I have even been accused by Verizon that the problem is my computer and hardware, even though I have ran several hardware, software, and "real-life" connection checks on other wireless networks with no issues at all. I even have been getting better connectivity when I use my Verizon USB UML290...but I hate having to switch moving my SIM card from the USB Modem to the MIfi4510L...one of these days the SIM card will fail. Verizon has checked the signal strength at my home and work locations (which I already knew as good), but never heard back from them.
Anyway, I have verified that my wireless network adapter works just fine on other wireless networks (no dropouts, etc). I have even upgraded to another Windows Operating System - Windows 7...which is more superior than Vista in dealing with wireless communications. I have implemented quite a number of the solutions provided by other great Verizon Wireless Community members, but the connectivity problems continue to occur.
When I did a review of my wireless hardware logs, I noticed that when I was encountering problems, the dynamically assigned address given to me on the Verizon Wireless network changed quite a bit, even when I was using the same web site. When my wireless connection worked fine, the dynamically assigned address was consistent. This seemed to change when I encounter peak network load times.
I would appreciate a straight answer from Verizon Wireless on what is going on with the network. I live in a solid 3G coverage area...but just far away from 4G to benefit for the increased throughput. The closest 4G location footprint is about 40 miles away from me.
Finally, what about the Mifi 4510 L firmware update? I have yet to see any notification about this firmware update, either through normal e-mail channels or even through my Mifi configuration site
http://192.168.1.1/mifi.cgi
What gives?
I realize that I am sounding a little perturbed about this matter, but it has been almost 4 months now...and Verizon is not living up to their part of the bargain on providing good tech support on the Mifi 4510L. When they do not have an answer...they ignore the customer. Not good business!!!

The firmware update was released a few weeks ago and there were multiple threads in this forum for it:
Software Update: Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi™ 4510L
The firmware update primarily addresses a problem with the MiFi switching from 3G to 4G and back. I would not expect it to resolve a connection issue for anyone in a 3G only area. Work through the firmware update instructions included in the link above and see if it helps.
There were no email notifications but the MiFi should have been redirecting you to the MiFi homepage every time you tried to browse the internet. The firmware update is mandatory so if you have not already completed the update then there might be something wrong with your device.

Recording external synth/drum machine - What should the highest peak be?

Hi,
When recording the audio from an external synth/drum machine what should the highest peak be? At the moment I have been recording as loud as possible without clipping but is it better to leave a few DB of headroom if using compressors etc afterwards?
Thanks for the help.

It is good practice with all audio tracking to have it peaking at around -6. I sometimes aim for around -9 when tracking.
make sure you are recording at 24bit. Your peeks can be -18 and you wouldn't suffer too much.

I work on two screens. With the new updates, my computer will not automatically open a new window on the second screen.

I work on two screens. With the new updates we cannot automatically open a new window on the second screen, but have to move them over manually. Not a huge problem, but because of the nature of the work, it gets tedious.

Hi Annowriter,
Thank you for your question, I understand that it is annoying to have to move a new window to the second screen. Since it opens in the active screen this may have been a stored preference, however it is not the default.
There is an add on called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/ Monitor Master] that customizes settings like this. Check it out.
