I'm working in a Production. I have all Scratch Disks set to "Same as Production". But instead the scratch files keep saving to the same folder as each individual Project that I'm working in, and as a result, they are appearing inside the Production. Very annoying.
recently I noticed that my productions get confusing because Premiere Pro places the complete Auto-Save, Video Previews, etc. folders in every single project in the production. So in the production panel I get a lot of folders nested in other folders messing it all up and making it really hard to find the real projects in the production. Also if I move a project in the production to another folder the automatically generated folders don't move with it resulting in much more confusion.
Is that intended behaviour or am I doing something wrong here?
Hi @grgryw - no need for a more detailed bug report. This is unfortunately a known issue that we have logged.
There's a rare case that sometimes pops up with the way that the scratch disk locations are saved to the .prodset file. I'll spare you the details becasue there's a workaround. All you need to do is set your Production Scratch Disks to a new custom location. This will re-save them correctly in the .prodset file, and you can return to using the "Same as Production" setting once again.
Yes... I know... I'm saying you have to point the scratch disks to a new location, just to point them back to "Same as Production?" What can I say? It's a workaround 🙂
I'd suggest that you set the scratch disks to the actual root of your production (just like "Same as Production" does, but manually as a custom destination instead). That way the workaround is just one step instead of two.
@Todd_Reeder I've switched off between 2 systems, one is on 24.3.0, and the other is on 24.4.1. It seems to be happening on both of them.
It seems to be all the scratch disks. I just tested capturing audio and a Captured Audio folder popped right in there:
It is also happening with Auto-Saves, Audio Previews and Video Previews, which are the only other scratch disks I'd be using, I think.
FYI, I I manually moved the scratch files to where they're supposed to go, and triple-checked that the scratch disk settings were set to Same As Production. As soon as I opened a project, the Auto-Save folder popped into my Production.
