Question

My Custom Scratch Disc locations Keep Resetting to Defaults

Hi,

I'm running Premiere Elements 2020 on Windows and I've tried, multiple times, to change the default location for Scratch discs. Everytime I close my project and re-open it again, the default settings are back. 

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I've never found a way to change those defaults.  Most will remember from the last project but at least one never does.  Instead, I go through several first steps to start a project and setting the Scratch Disks is one of them.   Another is to be sure to start the timeline with a primary clip that will create the project settings.

Thanks for the info. But, it's easy to set your custom locations - Select Edit / Preferences / ScratchDisks - the problem is when I log out of my project and save it, when I re-open the project they are all reset back to the default, which puts them on the C drive - the worst place you could put some of these files. The only setting that doesn't get changed back is the Media Cache. I would think that Adobe could - and should! - easily fix this bug.
