I've got to work on a video while on the road, so I've copied the
entire project -- including source video files -- to a portable drive
that I can use with my laptop. I've run into a problem, though: when
I move the drive from my normal editing computer, a desktop machine,
to my laptop, the laptop assigns a different hard drive letter to my
portable drive.
When I open my Premiere project, the new drive letter completely
throws Premiere off so that it has to ask me where the source files
and preview files are. That's only mildly annoying. The big problem
is that Premiere has lost track of the indexed video files (I'm
editing HDV) and then proceeds to grind for a couple of hours before
it has re-indexed all my source video so I can start work. Premiere
also has to re-conform all the audio.
Does anyone know how to get a Premiere project to use relative
directory names for all of its components (i.e. "the SourceClips
directory within the current directory") instead of absolute
directory names (i.e. "K:SourceClips")? Or, failing that, any way to
point Premiere to the indexing it's done previously?
I'll try forcing both computers to assign the same drive letter to my
portable drive, but there's got to be a more elegant solution. Or
maybe not. Sometimes Premiere surprises me with its foibles.
Thanks for your help,
Mike Boom
