I just updated to 23.4.0 and Premiere is not allowing me to link media to a drive that is also an apple time-machine back up drive. When I click on the drive in the link media browser it won't even allow me to click on the drive. How do I fix this?
Is this all on one partition? I'm pretty sure Time Machine drives are set to read only to preserve the bachups. I think you'd have to partion the drive to use it for data.
Yes, it's one partition. Hmm that's interesting, on the drive information, it says read and write for the system permissions. I was also able to use this drive to edit off of on pervious versions of Premiere.
Is there a reason you need to use the time machine drive for serving media for editing? I can think of a few reasons why linking to media on a dedicated Time Machine drive (or partition) would be a bad idea. If you don't have extra drives, you should are least set up partition for a working drive and a backup drive.
Thank you.. I normally would not use a time machine back up drive for editing. In this instance, I needed to. Just looking for a quick work around here or a way to disable time machine so I can read it through premiere.
I think Time Machine can be disabled easily but I'm not sure what backups could get lost in the process. Better yet, can you find the file in Time Machine and copy it out?
The files I am working with aren't located in the Time Machine backup folders. It's just located in a folder on the main drive directory. I have other data and folders on the drive in addition to the TM back ups foldres.
