Premiere Pro CS6 Default save location

Hey there,

We are having an issue where our users only have 100 meg network drives and Premiere Pro CS6 profile data. Our domain policies redirect everything from XP Documents and settings and 7 Users to their Z:\ drive, which is mapped to a network location on the local server . When Premiere Pro first opens, it saves user specific profile data and save files by default to this location. When their drive reaches full, it will then corrupt a .DB file in this location (no space for a proper save) and then causes problems in various other sections of the program, such as importing videos/photos. You can manually select a different location on project start, but is there any way to redirect it back to the local drive users folder? These files then will have lots of space and then they can save their project file on network drive/flash media so their work is secure and safe, but the program data and scratch info has lots of free space to work with? I need to make this change permanent and inside of a deployment, is there a registry file one can change?

Thanks!

    One benevolent piece of advice based on my experiences:

    If you are talking about Adobe call-in phone support,

    you are going to be WAY over their heads.

    It might lead to even more frustration than this thread.


    YUP!

    I remember when trying to get support as to why the Adobe built guide for silently mass deploying Adobe Premiere Elements 10 would always throw huge windows installer crashing errors on completion on multiple machines, hardware types, operating systems, etc. broken OEM.exe, lol

    The response i got from Adobe Call in for the hundreds and hundreds of machines i needed to deploy it on was:

    "Just install it from the CD!"

    *facepalm*

    I was going to try Adobe internet chat support, a little less aneuyrism forming.

    Thanks Joe!

    So basically Adobe has taken a page out of Apple's book and told their customers to "go * yourselves, you dont need something so basic" yes?

    I agree with Morten.  We have had the same issue at our school district with Photoshop and Premiere.  What we did to alleviate this was to partition the hard drive and created a document for the students to show how to redirect the pertinent folders when they created a video or photo.  It mostly works, but is terribly inconvenient and takes time to clean up the user folders at times.  We have moved to some Macs at the high school level, which seems to work as Macs don't redirect quite as well as PC's, and the defaults are to the local machine.  The plus side is less issues, but no backups if we have to clean profiles or reimage.  This has been an ongoing issue with us for a couple years.

    We have the exact same problem at our school environment. Hopefully Adobe comes with a fix for this as they didnt tell us this when we bought the programs even when we told them about our lab environment.

    And I am amazed by all the useless replies to this simple question.

    Wade-ran across this link below looking for help with a similar situation where the .norm files in Encore jam up my profile space automatically when the libraries are opened. I'm not the administrator so I still have yet to see if redirecting helps eliminate the extra data or simply duplicates it to other folders.

    Allow users full administrator rights and allow them to store locally looks like the best approach. They can upload to the server after they have finished editing.

    Not an option, this is an educational environment.

    Thanks, any other ideas?

    As it stands now, working under an Admin account and local drives with My Documents left right where Windows originally installed it really is the best, most trouble free setup.
