Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0

Set up a scratch disk

You set up scratch disks in the Scratch Disks panel of the Preferences dialog box. Before changing scratch disk settings, you can verify the amount of free disk space on the selected volume by looking in the box to the right of the path. If the path is too long to read, position the pointer over the path name, and the full path appears in a tool tip.

  1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Scratch Disks.
  2. For each scratch disk type, specify a disk location for Adobe Premiere Elements to store the corresponding files. Choose one of these options from the pop-up menu:
    My Documents
    Stores scratch files in the My Documents folder.

    Same As Project
    Stores scratch files in the same folder where the project is stored.

    Custom
    Indicates that the current path isn’t in the pop‑up menu. The current path isn’t changed until you click Browse to specify any available disk location.
