Hi Alan,
I appreciate your assistance to our community! And I don't mean to pick your brain too much, but I think you really have the answer to my question here.
I am trying to mimic your workflow as it seems to be the most straightforward from what I've gathered. However, I don't quite understand how to set up the data drives on both machines so all the paths are the same.
And what do you mean by using an external purely as a "bucket"?
Also - I'm sorry - I don't understand this step at all: "Once your session at home is done, save it all back to the external to preserve the project and update the directory at work."
Here is my situation:
I have a drive at home, and a drive (different brand) at work. I set up the film's folders in exactly the same way on each drive. The drives aren't exact copies of each other (they have different projects on each drive, but both have the film).
So far, every time I switch back and forth, I have to go through the tedious work of relinking, and it takes a while.
I am wondering what I've done wrong, as I thought I'd made the same path on both drives. I launch the Premiere project from my laptop's local drive.
The whole goal is to either skip the relink process altogether or streamline it so to make it very quick.
Lastly, I may be able to use a different laptop at work, with maybe a different MacOS. Would this change anything?
Any advice sincerely appreciated!!
Thank you!
