Well, Taky's right that there's no way to avoid re-indexing HDV video
when moving a project on a portable hard drive from one computer to
another -- at least that I can find. Even when the portable drive has
the same letter on each computer, Premiere insists on re-indexing if
the drive has been sullied by another computer.
To add insult to injury, Premiere will insist on re-indexing even on
a single computer if for some reason the drive has its letter
re-assigned. I had that happen 9 months ago when I added a second
portable drive that bumped the letter assignments up. Premiere
insisted on re-indexing a drive it had already indexed, a process
that took 16 hours because I had hours of video in the project.
What a brain-dead design! I hope it's fixed in CS4, but don't have high hopes.
I wonder just what's in the indexing files Premiere takes so long to
generate and where they're stored? You'd hope they'd be in a
specified scratch disk location so they'd be in the same directory as
the project, but there seems instead to be a mystery directory
somewhere that we have no control over.
