Active organization on the hard drives management

I'm new to video editing. This is my first post. I learned a lot from these forums through each of you guru contributors - THANK YOU ALL very MUCH. I have now put up a deluded on the fitting of what I learned and is about to enter the current edition. Before I do that I'm still a bit stuck on how to organize the multimedia files on my hard drives. I apologize for the issue of long-term in advance. I use body CS 5.5 on a Windows 7 computer. The computer with 3 drives (in fact, he has four, but the last one is a small SSD 120 GB, so I don't know how useful that will be). I have the C: drive (480 GB SS) for the OS, programs and pagefile on a 480 GB; Drive D: (2 TB WD Black) is media and projects; Drive E: (2 TB WD Black) will be for previews, media Cache and exports, more; Drive F: a SSD 120 GB (not sure if it's useful at this size (?).

My questions:

  1. ) I intend to have a folder called video projects that will house all of my video projects - regardless if it at the level of the directory root, or maybe a few levels down under Users/user_name/video projects?
  2. ) In this folder I intend having subfolders that will be my individual video projects, for example: YYYMMDD_Hawaii holiday - in this folder will be subfolders for: original film, project file, graphics, photos, stock footage, audio and documents. I am not clear where the captured video (one of my older cameras use Mini DV tapes) should go when you set the Scratch disk. It goes in a separate folder called "Capture" in the folder YYYMMDD_Hawaii holiday? Or should he go with previews on the E: drive? I know that there are many ways to "skin a cat" and anyway probably would work, but one way would be over the long term?

I think I understand the concept of a disk from scratch, but I do not understand what video or Audio capture has to do with a Scratch disk, or why they should be on the same tab, when you set up a new project.

  1. ) Which is the most effective way to put up your video assets in general. Keep the originals in a separate folder? Keep the originals in the Video Project folder described above in paragraph 2?
  2. ) Once again, if you had a folder called 'Video assets' with all your original images, is this directory in the root, or that matter if it's down a few levels to the level folder users/User Name / video active?

I know these are pretty basic questions, but I spent a lot of time googling unsuccessfully and drags the Adobe forums to get answers. I realize that with a video montage, once place you your property in folders, you should not move them to the risk of having connect problems. This is why I want to get this sorted out early in the game. Thank you all for your help!

I don't think you really need to worry that much on "this happens on drive 2" and "that's going to drive 3" as long as readers are performance equal (such As... a 'green' car is not suitable for video editing) "»

I put projects (preview/cache files are with projects... like I said "create a project on the #2 drive, follow different working files") on #2 because it is the 320Gig, projects and work files easily

It was MY choice also put my pagefile as hard based on a note that I have read somewhere... can't remember where, and he could just by browsing the site of @Microsoft

I then use my unique 1Terabyte drive for all the video files, the two inputs and outputs

  • activation and upgrade the hard drive

    I plan to upgrade my laptop with a new solid state drive. Do I have to disable my software Adobe CC on the old disk and reactivated once the new drive is installed?

    May be more prudent to turn off first, but I didn't need to do that when I used the migration program supplied with my new SSD to re - create the new disk from the old & make it the root of the C: drive.

    I was nervous and pleasantly surprised when everything went smoothly.

  • Problem with activation by using two hard drives (XP on one) and Win7 on the other

    I have XP sp3 installed on a hard drive and Win7 on another. I never use XP, I only keep there to keep my Win7 works great.

    I do not remember how did I installed win7, but I pretty sure I booted from a USB key and installed on a new hard drive.

    It seems that XP hard drive is in charge the boot settings, or something because I have set as the boot default HDD (in bios), and then select Windows 7 in boot menu that follows.

    If I select the hard disks Windows 7 the default boot hard drive, Windows restores activation. Select the hard drive with XP and win7 then choosing in the start menu, works very well, the activation is OK again.

    I'll install Win8 (that I already bought), but I still need to figure out what to do with this situation, because I need to replace the hard drive where XP is installed and install Win8 and have a double Win7 and boot 8.

    It is possible to solve the problem of activation, without having me call Microsoft? I use a utility called EasyBCD 2.2 and I was wondering if maybe this program could help fix me.

    Any thoughts?

    Disconnect the drive xp, fix the win7 installation and activate if necessary

  • Replacing the hard drive and Recovery console repair turns into a nightmare of activation

    I took the hard drive of a computer dell laptop is no longer used and put it in my current toshiba laptop (in which the hard drive was dead prior).

    I had my laptop to accept the hard drive by using the recovery console and do a chkdsk with the repair option. After repairs the laptop now wants to be activated.

    So now I use my laptop with a hard drive built to a dell computer. Of course, I uninstalled all the bloatware and replaced all the drivers with the right. the hard drive works fine with my laptop. This isn't the problem.

    My problem is that windows will not activate. It is a genuine copy of windows xp home edition, purchased from dell. I got through all of the activation methods and they tell me that the installation id is invalid. I'm basically a big circle with phone support to web support.

    If my product key is known to be valid for windows xp family when he was on the hard drive in the computer dell laptop, why is it not valid when traded to the computer toshiba laptop and why used someone help me with this problem. I can't be the only one that this has happened?

    as a reminder, swapped a hardrive is no longer in use of the computer, a work computer. has ran chkdsk to fix disk errors, after reboot windows is enabled is no longer and requires activation. Activation Assistant will not accept the installation as id being valid and would call support, when I go to real profit online to activate it also error. How can I activate this well-known work product id? I'm not hacking because he is no longer in use, basically, I am on a windows xp home edition right now and nobody will help me.

    Thanks in advance

    The hard drive Dell has a "Dell" OEM of Windows XP version and a "Dell" product key (and might even be locked BIOS) that will not work on your Toshiba.

    As with all versions once installed on a computer/motherboard OEM it cannot be moved to another PC.

  • Is there a limit to the amount of the size of the hard drive that it can manage Windows Vista Ultimate?

    . I am trying to install a disk hard external sata 3 TB

    It would be only format 2.3 TB. Is there a limit to the amount of the size of the hard drive that it can manage Windows Vista Ultimate? If so, is there a way to enlarge it.

    Vista only supports drives of 3 TB for storage of the data and do not install the Vista operating system on this drive.

  • By using the Recovery Manager to repartition the HARD drive

    I started a post a few days back on my pavilion DM1-3014AU netbook that runs on AMD APU-E350, 2 GB of ram and comes pre loaded with windows 7 Home Basic. I had a number of requests because I want to repartition the hard drive, do a fresh install of windows 7 my disc and I also want to keep some of the hp software.

    After going through a few messages in this forum, I learned that we can use the Recovery Manager to do a minimal install, IE windows 7 and only the hp software. That's what I have to do unless I also want to repartition the hard drive.

    I currently have 4 partitions, C drive, hp tools (hidden) and backup (hidden). I have already created recovery disks. Now, my questions are:-

    1. can I use recovery disks or Recovery Manager to delete all existing partitions and recreate my own partitions. This means that I would remove the recovery, tools and backup partitions.

    2. After doing the above I'll be able to do a minimal install (os + hp software) via the Recovery Manager or the recovery disks.

    3. my intutions are that I can accomplish the above two using the recovery disks and not the recovery partition. If the above two steps are possible using recovery discs, it would ultimately have no partition on my hard drive recovery. I will then be able to use the recovery disks in the future to make the same minimum install (os + hp software)

    4. I wouldn't really keep the recovery, tools and backup partitions if they can be of any complacency in the future but the reson why I want to delete them, is that windows 7 Home Basic allows no more than 4 partitions and I want to be able to create at least 4 partitions for my use.

    Any help would be really appreciated...

    Yes Vikrant... it is unnecessary to install UEFI to update BIOS.

    Yes, if you install the update to the BIOS using the link I provided in my previous thead element, you can as a revert to a version of BIOS as soon as possible if you feel that the system is unstable.

    Even if you reparition the whole HARD disk and do a manimized install, you can install the BIOS update in the future.

    Updating the BIOS is independent if you did full recovery or minimizes recovery.

    BIOS update will not affect the use of recovery disks and procedures. You can safely use them in the future without any problem.

    You will use the ability to run F9 diagnostics incase of any software system crash, and you are unable to start Windows.

  • How to organize files on the hard drive? (Not in collection). Lightroom 6, Macintosh

    In Lightroom-6 I want to start to organize photos on the hard drive ("issues").

    (At a later stage, I want to import photos from years back as well).

    I want to organize in "Years" and "month".

    from pictures of the year 2004: I want to create a folder named '2004' in this '2004' - folder I want to create subfolders 12 (months) appointed etcetera 2004-01, 2004-02, 2004-03, 2004-04. (01 = January, 02 = February 03 = March, etc.).

    It should look like this:

    2004

    > 2004-01

    > 2004-02

    > 2004-03

    > 2004-04

    > 2004-05

    etcetera.

    In the LR - app, I think that I am not able to create folders on the hard disk. I created folders in the "masters of Lightroom" - folder, but he won't show as expected in the LR - under 'Files' app after you start Lightroom.

    Before you begin to move the photos to the new folders created, I want to assure you the LR - app can still find later.

    Anyone got a good method or perhaps a statement-link? Other advice most welcome as well.

    Thank you!

    The import dialog box may create the calendar folder based upon import photos that are organized differently in the existing folders. Use the MOVE or COPY option. The instructions are here (see section 5): https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/import-photos-video-catalog.html

    In addition to the above, you can also organize using keywords.

    I'm talking about my legal copy of Indesign CS2 adobe, but told me that the serial number is already active. I know that I did at the time, but the computer is dead and the hard drive is GONE. Under license, I could put on my laptop and keep a copy on my PC at home as long as I don't have use both at the same time. None of these computers no longer exists. And why adobe cannot say that it was me who did the first activation?

    It won't matter because your copy of CS2 and serial number no longer works.  You need to acquire a special version because of the Adobe stop the activation for CS2 server and other products of this period.  The links below will explain more and also drive you to the download version, you must get and the serial number, you can use for this.

  • Tecra A8-104: how to create a second partition on the HARD drive

    Hello.

    I had to use the recovery disk, and I deleted by mistake my (two) initials of the partitions on the HARD drive. : ((now, I have only one.

    Can someone tell me how I can fix this?
    I want 2 partitions, not one. x 10

    The Toshiba Recovery CD could create two partitions.
    The installer will ask where or how install the OS on the HARD drive.

    For example, the HARD disk supports 100GB. So you can choose the first 60 GB for installing the OS and the difference (40 GB) could be activated after the installation of the OS.

    This can be done in the management of the computer-> disk management.

  • Qosmio G30 - capacity of the HARD drive even after disable RAID

    Hi all

    I have a G30 with two hard drives, which were broadcast in RAID 1 configuration for a year now. For RAID 1, I activated the mirroring and everything worked perfectly.

    However, I'm now running out of space so I turned off mirroring using RAID console.
    My question is "why do I always see the same capacity of HARD drive when I go on my computer? I hope that there is a simple answer to this.

    Thank you for Uncle Bob.

    Can you see the drive in disk management?
    Perhaps the HARD drive is not enabled or needs to be formatted.

    And the BIOS recognizes the another HARD drive?
