Change the "Adobe Premiere Pro Video Previews" folder to be elsewhere on the same drive

[yash-lucid]

Since my projects folders are backed up to the cloud in realtime, I'd like to move that previews folder elsewhere, perhaps the main User/Documents section of the same and only fast m2.ssd drive that my laptop has.

I know I can do this in File > Project Settings > Scratch disk, however that works for the currently open project, how do I make this a default setting for all future projects?

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060

• 64GB DDR5 RAM

• 1TB SSD

• All latest Adobe/Win11Pro/and video drivers

Typically if you set your main app preferences up, it is sticky.

Has it been putting them elsewhere even after creating a new project?

Ok I see - the settings do stick for new projects, I thought they wouldn't, resolved thanks!

As Neil said, PPro remembers the settings of your last project and apply those to the new ones.

If it's not working for some reason, create a new file, set the previews folder, save the project as a template. Now when you create a new project, you have the option to choose the saved template as a base for your new project.

Hi yash-lucid,

Welcome to the community! Currently, there is no way to bulk change the Project Settings for multiple projects. For existing projects, you need to make these changes individually. However, as suggested by our experts, you may create a Project Template with the desired settings & then use that for your future projects. You may refer to this link to learn more about Project Templates. Hope it helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Sumeet
