Hey Jeff,
I'm adding a second drive because I have filled the first (shared by my family) with my Premiere projects. I want to use the second drive solely for capturing and editing. So...what you say makes a lot of sense; however, I had hoped to be able to take the external hard drive with me so I can work on projects whether I'm at home or work. The problem is that I'm unable to install PPro on my work computer and have been unable to fix the problem. Consequently, I thought I might have to install PPro on the external hard drive, But on reflection, this wouldn't work since there I wouldn't have the necessary Premiere files in the registry. I'm not sure how to get around the problem. Hope that's clearer, and thanks for the feedback. RR --- In [email protected], Cable Guy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rick, > > Hi. I'm not completely sure I understand what you are trying to accomplish. First, are you doing away with the exisiting drive and replacing it with the new external drive? I'm thinking that you are adding the second (external) drive, in which case I'm not sure why you would move Premiere to that new drive. Actually Adobe recommends installing Premiere on one drive, (in this case it could stay on your current C: drive) and then they recommend using a second drive (your new external drive) for your capture and editing files. Premiere has settings that allows you to point the program to the appropriate drive and folder where you want your video files stored. > > Hope this helps. > > Jeff > > Rick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am almost ready to install a new external hard drive, but I > realized I am unsure about a few issues. > > 1.
