#GOOGLE DRIVE PRO PLUS#
But it becomes a real pain with 2 hours plus media. Not too bad with USB 3 drives and circa 30 mins total media in the project. So when the user next logs on, that data is missing and premiere has to take some time to re-generate those files and regenerates the conformed audio files as well, even though those exist on the USB HDD. That means that the media cache files are wiped when the user logs off.

(I needed a common workflow for Windows and Mac users.) The media cache settings although set in the preferences, that data is not stored in the "Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs" file, it is stored in the registry (assuming windows), and although I knew where it was stored in a Mac, our IT people could not push out a file to the location to pre-set it. The only thing I could not do easily was get the media cache stored on the USB HDD as well.
In my institution, we have always used USB HDD's to store the project files, video files, conformed audio etc. If you want more information on that, message me through this or reply and I'll drop you my email.
Having their own little corner in the server's hard-drive would be the best way to do things. I would love for you to get a little server going and network it into the college so they can store their projects on there. While they are subjected to forgetting it/leaving it somewhere/loosing it, it is still a more secure option than using a cloud savespace. Get them to use a USB/thumbdrive/hard-drive. Hopefully this is not the case 3) If they are working with big projects/big files, syncing to google drive could take some time depending on the internet connection you have at the college.Ĥ) Google can sometimes do some strange things with files, and I've known of files getting corrupted in the uploading process when vital bits of data within the file are left out. boot it/shutdown), they are going to have to sync the drive back, loosing precious classtime. To answers some questions:ġ) The process you described above is the process they would have to go through to use google drive.Ģ) If all of their content is wiped after use, that would indicate to me that every time they use the computer (e.g. I wouldn't suggest using google drive due to network connectivity issues, as well as the sync speeds between google drive and the computer.
#GOOGLE DRIVE PRO OFFLINE#
Is the process 1) save Premiere Pro project and all video files to Desktop, 2) upload to Google Drive? Will they have to reconnect the media every time they return to work off of the Goggle Drive? When they do want to return to work on the project, do they have to copy it back to the Desktop, or can they work directly off of the files in Google Drive? (My main concern is that moving folders/files can lead to the media offline issue, how do I avoid in this case? Any advice would be great, thank you!! -Ali I would love some advice on how that works with Premiere, as I'm unfamiliar with the process. They all have and want to use Google Drive. However, this summer I'm teaching video production at a community college, where students can't save anything on the college computers (everything gets erased as soon as they turn the computer off). I have always saved my Premiere Pro projects either on my laptop or on an external hard drive (or, both). Hi, my question is re: using Google Drive as the place to save the project.
