physically separate storage location.
If you use a synchronized file sharing service like Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive, storing
your auto-save files using that service will mean you always have access to all your
automatically saved project files.
In addition to storing automatically saved project files in the location you choose, Premiere Pro
can store a backup of your most recent project file in your Creative Cloud Files folder. This
folder is created automatically when you install Adobe Creative Cloud. It allows you to access
files in any location where Creative Cloud is installed and you are logged in.
This useful extra safety net is available by choosing Premiere Pro CC > Preferences > Auto Save
(macOS) or Edit > Preferences > Auto Save (Windows).
CC Libraries Downloads
You can also use the Creative Cloud Files folder to store media files that you can access from
any system. Collaborators on a project can use the Creative Cloud Files folder to store and
share standard assets like logos or graphic elements.
Use the Libraries panel in Premiere Pro to access these files. When you add items to the current
project in this way, Premiere Pro will create a copy of them in the scratch disk location you
choose here.
Motion Graphics Template Media
Premiere Pro can import and display prebuilt animated template graphics and titles created
with After Effects or Premiere Pro. When you import a motion graphics template into the
current project, a copy will be stored in the location you choose.
For this project, leave all your scratch disks set to the default option: Same As Project.
Choosing ingest settings
Professional editors describe adding media to a project as importing or ingesting. The two
words are often used interchangeably but actually have different meanings.
When you import a media file into a Premiere Pro project, a clip is created that is linked to the
original file. The media file stays in its current location, and you’re ready to include it in a
sequence.
When you enable the Ingest options, the original media file may also be copied to a different
location (which is useful for keeping your media files organized) and/or converted to a new
format and codec before it’s imported into your Premiere Pro project.
