CHAPTER 2

Working with Projects
•
Store Premiere and the operating system on one hard disk, and capture video to an additional
AV-certified hard disk on which nothing else is stored.
• To enhance performance further, specify an additional, separate AV hard disk for video
preview files and another for audio preview files.
• Specify only disks attached to your computer—a hard disk located on a network is usually
too slow. Removable media may be acceptable if they are fast enough.
To specify scratch disks:
1 Choose File > Preferences > Scratch Disks.
2 For Temp/Captured Movies, select the volume where Premiere will store video and audio
files you digitize using Premiere.
3 For Video Preview Temps, select the volume where Premiere will store files generated when
previewing video clips.
4 For Audio Preview Temps, select the volume where Premiere will store files generated when
previewing audio clips.
5 Click OK.
Premiere can warn you when a scratch disk you specified is running out of space. You can
specify when the point at which the warning appears.
To specify the warning level for low disk space:
1 Choose File > Preferences > General / Still Image.
2 For Low Disk Space Warning Level, indicate in kilobytes the amount of unused scratch disk
space that will trigger the warning. Click OK.
For more information about working with memory, see “Preserving quality and performance
during video capture” on page 359.
