I was wondering if someone could shed some light on a annoying prblem I have encountered with Premiere CC.

I usually work from an extrnal drive and create a Proxy Folder in my project that contains all my proxy renders - so its easy to find everything. However Premiere always seesm top lose connection to them every time I restart it menaing I have to go through teh process of reconnecting aloot of clips that havent actually moved anywhere.

Its very annoying if there are alot of clips in the project absolutely nothing has changed. Is it user error? A bug? I have it on every Preimere system I work on - but cant seem to find anyone else talking about this problem. Be great to ewither fix this, ot get to the bottom of it.

This premier problem with disconnecting proxies is getting out of hand. We have large banks of media that we can't just make local and it seems as if Adobe knows that this is a problem but can't figure out how to fix it. CAN someone there try to help us? It's extremely inconvenient to have to re-link every darn file. That means DOWNTIME and if Adobe can't resolve this situation that has apparently been plaguing it for the last 4 years according to my research on the issue, then maybe it's time I consider going back to FCP. This is getting ridiculous. Fix your sh*t Adobe. Cmon.

OH, thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't sure if cascading assignment of drives would carry over to other computers.

duh.

Thank you, but that's not advised or very sensable on a big edit. And I don't see why it should matter. Exspecially when the whole point of proxies is for low res copies of files for editors to take away and cut remotely. Not keep them only on a local drive.

Can't be that hard for Abobe to keep the proxies pointing at the folder they were imported from. Yet another bug.
