Do I need these media Cache files?

• Media Cache files / Media Cache database / Scratchdisk on SSD?

  Hello

  I have a 120 GB SSD in my C: drive use.

  "Media Cache files" and "Database Cache" sit enabled by default on C: drive - which is in my case an SSD that is faster than my 7200 RPM D: drive.

  Default location of the scratchdisk is in the project plan, who are always on the 7200 RPM D: drive.

  Now my question: what files should I keep on the SSD drive - and which ones on 7200 RPM drive? The better course would be to have everything on the SSD, but the simple truth is his only 120 GB and more than half is used for etc system files already.

  I get a noticeable performance improvement if I use the SSD as scratchdisk?

  I get a noticeable performance loss if I use 7200 RPM disk for my media and Database Cache files?

  Also more information on this topic: when (any drive) are media and automatically deleted database Cache files? How does this work, because if it does delete anything automatically, after 30 projects your computer must be complete with these media Cache files...

  And the same question for the scratschdisk? Although I imagine that you must do it manually since its in the draft card anyway.

  I thank all!

  # The advantage of speed of SSDS is primarily marketing hype and not noticeable when editing. Comprehensive tests with conventional 8 versus 8 7200 drives SSD in a raid showed no benefit at all, in fact it was even a bit slower than conventional disks.

• Media cache files: first Elements 9 with SSD

  Hello you lovely people from Adobe.

  I apologize if this has been asked before, if so please could someone direct me to an answer?

  I have the first Elements 9 on Windows 7. My question is quite simple: my new shiny SSD becomes full of temporary files to the location of 'Files of Cache C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media' every time that I'm working on a project.  I put all the other elements of the cache that I can see in 'Préférences' on my mechanical drive, but I'm scared to see this folder filling with large files on my SSD. Apart from the useless reads and writes, it will be filled in no time. It seems in Premiere Pro, you can send this file to an external drive, but I can't find this option in Premiere Elements.

  Please tell me there is a way to move the media cache of the file to another drive than C:\ directory?

  Thanks in advance

  The answer is that you need answers to Premiere Elements for questions of Premiere Elements.

  Standardized audio files (cfa and pek) are stored in the media Cache files folder. By default, this folder is located in Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 64bits.

  Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements / 10 (if 10 is your version). You set the save location for media Cache files folder in first things Editor workspace Edit Menu/preferences/Scratch disks as well as 'Media Cache' category.

  The respected video files (CMPD) are accessible via the first elements Editor workspace Edit Menu/preferences/Media and its area of media Cache database. You will find a Clean up to a certain limit set and clear them. The real files (with a .mcdb file extension) can be found via the path in this field. This seems to be a static situation.

  Render the content of the timeline to get the best possible overview to read the back of the chronology of the content in the box monitor edition preview files are stored in the folder of files Adobe Premiere elements previews. By default, this folder is located in Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 64 bit libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements / 10 (if 10 is your version). You define which record the location for the Adobe Premiere elements elements previews file folder to the first elements Editor workspace Edit Menu/preferences/Scratch disks and the category of video Previews.

  Please let us know if you are now clearly Premiere Elements and how it relates to media Cache and al.

  Hi Dave,.

  The location is ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common to be exact.

  Make sure that you type the TILDE (~) key.

  When in the Finder, click the go > go to folder... > Type ~/Library and navigate to Application Support/Adobe/Common

• removal of media cache files to speed up the loading of project?

  Hi all

  Here's a question about media cache files... Once again.

  My projects has recently begun to be slower to load than even light. Nothing has changed, but I noticed that I had 61 GB of data in the media cache files folder. I wonder if remove the contents of the cache of media AND media cache files folder stand in the place and bring my speed?

  Thank you.

  This will remove the database only.

  Not exactly... This will remove the entries in the database and the files in cache for some media, that are currently not in use, e.g. offline media. It can also remove some entries from the database and the cache files for the media used in a project, on what an editor does not work currently, but the majority of them will stay. In other words, the "Clean" button should have been called "partially own something media Cache database randomly.

  So, in order to actually clean the media Cache database one should manually delete all the files in the folders as media Cache and Cache media files.

• Media cache files...

  Hello

  I have a folder on my C drive under data\adobe\common\ application called "media cache files". There is a huge amount of data in this folder.

  Then I put somewhere else, and is it safe to empty from time to time?

  Thank you.

• Media Cache files too much space on my hard drive

  I wanted to know why my drive is almost full - my own generated content was far enough to fill it.  I used WinDirStat and he showed me that I had a whole bunch of cache files of my video editing going back 5 years.  They had been stored in a folder won't are normally shown in Windows Explorer - Cache files of the users/Richard/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Common/Media.  They are mainly .cfa and .pek files.  All these projects-related media files were backed up and deleted from the hard drive.  These cached files take 200 GB of space!  I can remove them?

  Yes, clean! First, go to Edit > Prefs > Media

  Find the Database Cache and click on the CLEAN button. This only deletes temporary files for projects that are more in line (including the offline reader).

  Thank you

• My files media-Cache-clogged my ssd drive. How can I get rid of them?

  Hi, I have a few problems with my first Pro CS5 (with all the new free updates installed) on Windows 7 64 bit (up to date also). (I'm German btw. If that makes it easier to help you)

  I just added a large number of videomaterial (SLR digital canon h264 fullhd) in my new project (dslr 1920 25 p) in first Pro CS5 and suddenly you have a lot of errors at the bottom right. The hard drive (my bootdisc) ran out of memory and I had only 6 MB left. I didn't know that I had the storageplace for the media cache files.

  I immediately changed the two directories for these files after import has been over at my other big hard disks P: and clicked on something like "move the existing files. Unfortunately, this did not have the files to move and I've always had between 600 KB and 30 MB of space on my bootdrive.

  Now, I deleted some other files since I can't access the folder to delete or move the files in cache-media-by myself. And I am logged on as an administrator. I'm afraid that my PC does not start with to little space on my ssd bootdrive left and am afraid to start again the CS5 first, since I don't have a lot of other things to delete if sth. won't again.

  Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? How can I get rid of 50 GB of cache-files-media on C:? Please let me know if you do!

  Greetings,

  OLE

  Since I've had 500 MB left I risked to restart the computer and files were deleted just by restarting I guess. Now, I'm still 18 GB free. Thanks a lot for your help! I deleted a file I accidentally created this way and now a gb. :-)

• First, keeping the creation of media to the HARD Drive Cache files if it is full

  Hello

  I use the latest version of first. The problem is the same with the previous version 2015.3.

  I have a complete project of mp4 files. I edit a huge project with over 4000 hours of footages, but I only import footages that I am cut, so it should be no problem for first. Maybe the problem comes from those mp4 files, but I'm not sure.

  I tried many different types of settings but first always creates and re-creation of media cache files.

  You can see on the picture. It does exactly the same thing if I put media files in external drives.

  I tried to do a new project and re - import the files, but it does the same thing.

  My assistants working on different computers have the same problem.

  For now, the only way I found to remove the media Cache files when the disk got full, but recently, I have to do more than once day and my external HDD, SSD is 1 TB.

  Thus, it creates 1 TB of file cache in half a day.

  If someone has an idea to fix that, it would be really appreciated.

  Best,

  Matthew Laclau.

  

  In first preferences, according to the media section, you have a check mark next to "write XMP IDS to files? If this setting is not enabled, enable it. Usually helps in this scenario, especially if working with double media on different drives.

• Work on two machines - what media cache?

  I am a long time user of the PCF getting just my head around first Pro CS5.5. I often work on the same project, at work and at home. With FCP I just duplicated the media on another drive and carried just the project file on a disc flash - obviously rendered effects will have to be done locally.

  Now with the first, I noticed there is the media cache which AFAIK, is not necessarily something to do with rendering and effects, but associated and applied to each element.

  So my question is, the media cache will need to be built from scratch on each machine whenever I move the project file?

  If so, is there a way to avoid this, so that I won't have to wait for it to build the media cache?

  .. .or on a 30 minute film with 15 hours of original media will be what it's going to be a quick process so as to not be a problem?

  I guess what I'm really asking is how can I easily work on the same project in different places?

  Any help appreciated.

  For now my media is in my library folder of the user on the system drive.

  I would avoid using the system drive for media cache files.

  The best would be to have another one with the same name in car
  (D) for your media cache.

  If you use an external drive for your media, make sure that
  you assign the same drive letter on this drive on both systems.

  ... and then duplicate the lot on another drive?

  I never tried to copy large media files in a cache
  system to another... preferring to create generate a
  cache for each system.

  Another thing. Suppose I have capture some media more at work, can I just copy this media in the same location on my drive home and then cover media on my machine at home just update new media?

  Yes.

• Hide media, WMV files

  I have 6 WMV files in my catalog with each an approx. 500 000 KB.  I recently moved my media cache files in Photoshop elements 14 (in preferences) to be stored on an external hard drive.  When I did this, it creates several files of each of the wmv files, now for a total of 154 GB.  Can someone help me with this please?

  Yes, it worked.  My cache regenerated only when I clicked on the video on and does not duplicate itself.  Thank you!
