Clean the video folder Lightroom user cache

Hi everyone, I tried to make the free space on the hard drive of my computer when I discovered that my "user/username/Library/Caches/Adobe/Lightroom/video/MediaCacheFiles' was containing more than 100 GB of data.

I intend to erase these data in order to save space. Is it safe? I think that these data are used to get a quick view in Lightroom (in grid panel) of the different video files that have been imported into my Lightroom library. I kind of never to use LR to manage or preview my files video (first is more efficiently, besides) I don't need these very heavy additional files to share my disk space.

Can you tell me that I can do it without problems?

Thank you

Tristan

Hi MonPortraitPhoto,

Could check you what is the space allocated for cache Lightroom video.

Check under Lightroom > preferences > file management

Also click on clear Cache in the cache of video settings.

Let us know if that helps to clear up space on your computer.

Kind regards

  • Smartphones blackBerry how to create a new folder in the video folder in the media

    Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to create a new folder in the video folder in the media. I can easily create new folders in the pictures folder, but not in the videos... Why? Thanks in advance for your help.

    well I'm sorry, I think that I have not read your emails correctly.

    The media application doesn't care about records at all. It will read the files, the tags when they are available, playlists, but it will not show the files. with the exception of the pictures.

  • Leak memory with Explorer.exe in the videos folder.

    Leak memory with Explorer.exe in the folder of videos with thumbnails enabled. Using the resource monitor, I can see that explorer.exe is playback of video files, while the memory gradually increases until it is 99%. No such problem with memory leak when I put the provision 'list' (i.e. without thumbnails). Disabling thumbnails also eliminates the problem of memory leak, but this isn't what I want.  Main videos folder is. MKV files, with the codec video within the container MKV h.264 high profile. I tried to dissociate all media files with Media Player Classic Home Cinema (which I use to watch mkv videos).

    More important, this problem seems only appeared after I installed SP1.

    Win7 x 64 Ultimate SP1, C2D E8500 8 GB of RAM, Western Digital 2 to Green Caviar.

    More info: I realized that this only happens with the video files that don't have any generated tile. It's like Windows Explorer is reading through the entire video file to generate a thumbnail, but even after awhile that yet, it does not generate a thumbnail.

    How to fix? Help! Thank you!

  • Problem with the video in Lightroom 4

    Hello!

    Anyone has the same problem as I do?

    When you watch more videos (3-4) after the other, the video player stops just work.

    After some time (a minute or two) I get an error message: "there was an error with the video.

    The only way (so far) to make it work again is to restart Windows.

    And here again, I can watch videos from 3 to 4 until the problem recurs.

    This is a bug, I found and reported.

  • Changes in 'Any the Photos' folder Lightroom, not reflected in Lr Mobile

    After installing Mobile from Lr, I imported all my photos that were on the phone. When I enabled syncing of photos in Lightroom has appeared in 'Any the Photos' in the records section. I then moved all to other folders. The "Imported Photos" folder was now empty in Lightroom, but it still appeared in Lr Mobile. Then, I deleted the folder and created a new. I imported more than three photos. Two of them go to Lightroom. The third party must not synced because he had done before. Yet once, I moved the 'Imported Photos' photos and even once, they always stay in Lr mobile. Is this a normal behavior. I have to go back and delete them manually?

    I have another question of workflow. Is there a way to automatically delete the pictures from the photo app from Apple that are automatically imported into Lr Mobile? I don't think so, but hope springs eternal. If this is not the case, is there a photo app that would save pictures directly in Lr Mobile?

    Look in the Collections Panel - these photos are probably included in a collection that has marked for synchronization.  If remove you it from the collection, they will be removed from the iPad.

    And no, sorry, he cannot automatically delete the files.

  • The video is cropped with cache by changing size to export approach?

    Hello!   I have a video layered with a background image for the sidebars.   I used a white square as a track matte to crop a part of the Central video.

    Now, the weird thing is that the sequence is more heavily cropped in the exported file that's in my first previews.

    vlcsnap-2014-10-18-15h49m42s201.png

    Because it appears perfectly fine in the excerpts, I find it very difficult to solve the problem by trial and error.   What could be the cause of this discrepancy between the previews and my exported images?

    Edit: actually, now that I'm looking at them side by side, the colors are little stripped too.  Keeps?

    Post edited by: Christopher Jacob

    I apparently solved the problem.   If someone else happens on a similar problem, I selected the matte layer and change its size through the motion effect.   I have it narrowed down and then brought back to the correct size.   For some reason any after that it has exported correctly.   Yay!

  • Mysterious folder Lightroom files.

    Hello all-

    I just want to preface my question by saying: I am sorry to be the kind of user who expects a quick response / solution and then leave the forum until my next problem. I'm fairly warned with Adobe apps, but I don't think I'm at a point where I could answer other users questions yet.

    Switch, here is some information on my computer:

    I run a 2008 Macbook Pro 5.1 wit 8 GB of ram, 128 GB SSD for my boot drive and a 256GB in my old optical Bay that I use as a storage drive. I have Lightroom and all my apps on this disk "storage" for the storage of large files.

    And here my question:

    Over the last year, I flooded my folder Lightroom file cache. I think that I did of my Lightroom folder to another drive with the opening of the synchronization application. What is a reasonable explanation for what could have happened? I'm also sure about some other files.

    I am aware that I need the following:

    -Corrupted catalogs

    -.lrcat files

    I don't know if I need any other files like "temporary import data" or "repair temporary catalog".

    I've attached screenshots below. I would really appreciate the help

    You can permanently delete the Lr2 and 4 files catalog and Catalog.Previews if you're ABSOLUTELY positive you have upgraded their and no longer need them.  Temporary importation and the TemporaryRepairCatalog are files I've ever seen, but it is probably safe to delete also.  What is in the folder catalogs to corrupt? If it is no longer necessary because you have repaired your catalog that you should be able to remove it also.  You can move these files to another folder temporarily and see if Lr works very well.  If so, then delete them.  I'm glad it works for you.

  • Deleting files in the Windows folder.

    I have $NtuninstalKB... files $ in my Windows folder. I could delete them without affecting Windows?

    P S long

    You can remove them without making the overall Windows operatin, the question is why do you want to do this?

    I can only guess one of two things...

    (1) you're obsessed with cleaning the Windows folder (and all the others.)  A compulsion.

    (2) you are trying to free up as much space as possible for some reason any.

    Whatever it is...

    Do a house cleaning and the dust of this hard drive:

    You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

    Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

    If you are comfortable with the stability of your system, you can delete the uninstall of patches which has installed Windows XP...

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

    You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

  • How to FF in Rockbox and resume the video plays

    Please someone help me...

    I have e260v1 and hav rockbox installed on it... i have converted videos using winff and load them into the video folder...

    but the problem is when I play them I can't fast forward em... also I can't find a way how to stop sometimes to something else and then again to resume the video I was watching already...

    for the same, tried many things...

    Make sure you have the latest version of installed rockbox.  They just released version 3.0, you can download it from rockbox.org and unzip it in the folder .rockbox on your player for an easy upgrade.

    Fast forward your video is identical to quickly send a music file: press on the > | button and hold it pressed.  The summary function works by loading the same video file after it stopping in the middle.  You have the option to get out of the where you left off or restart from the beginning.  If you do not see this option of recovery, that's probably because it was a feature added since the last time you updated your installation of rockbox.
