2. Re: do I have to specify scratch disc location each time?
tikigod19 Dec 24, 2012 11:16 AM (in response to JSS1138)From memory it's project settings and then the scratch disc tab. Is there anywhere in the global settings (edit-preferences) I should be looking for?

4. Re: do I have to specify scratch disc location each time?
tikigod19 Dec 26, 2012 10:54 PM (in response to JSS1138)But is there any way of adjusting the default settings so I don't need to change this every time?

Steven L. Gotz Dec 27, 2012 6:52 AM (in response to tikigod19)The answer is "no" and "yes".
If you put your cache where you put your projects then each time you create a project, your cache will follow. That is probably not a good idea for most people, but it is not bad if you store your projects on a separate drive specifically set up for the purpose of putting projects and cache.
If it is not a good idea for you, then you may find that you want to do what I do. I have a few project templates I use. They are not officially templates, but I think of them that way. They have all of the settings I like to use, they have the right number and the right type of tracks, they store the cache on a specific drive set up for that usage, they have some generic footage with certain effects applied so I can copy those efects when I need them, and they have my logo, and intro music.
When I want to create a new project, I merely copy the directory that the project is in and open the project in the new directory. That probably saves me 10 minutes of gathering resources and another few minutes of set up. Every time.
