Is cleaning the cache file a safe thing to do in the middle of an edit? I don’t want to wipe out anything important. Is it best to wait until a project is finished? Thanks.

[DR - Yes, cleaning the cache file is fine in the middle of a project, though it will create audio peaks and renders again when you open the project. But there's no harm done.]

Really like the Genesis Project…stumbled upon it last week.
I am a new PP 5.5 user – recently switched from FCP7. I have tried without success to have Adobe tech support help me out. I want to export my final sequences to a Sony PDW-U1 slot drive (XDCAM). I can export an XDCAM file from PP5.5 to desktop but it will not output to the PDW-U1.
FCP7 was simple; File – Export – XDCAM.
Tech support said make sure that all PDW-U1 drivers are up to date – they are.
If I can’t fix this I will have to go back to FCP7as all my deliverables are on XDCAM slot drives.
Any help would be welcome.

[DR - Two suggestions for you to consider. First, check out the Sony site to see if there is a driver for the PDW-U1 or some mounting or drive utility. We've sometimes run into the same issues with SxS cards when you just need the driver to read media. Also, check out the Adobe Premiere Pro forums as there are a LOT of good people there to help other users out.]

Another great option (for Mac users) is Jon Chappells excellent and free Preference Manager app that allows you to Backup, Trash and Restore your preferences with ease. Works with Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro X.

Preference Manager is here:

It also forms part of a much larger set of really useful utilities called “Pro Maintenance Tools” … :

Where is the cache folder in PP 1.5 ? Thanks [DR - to be honest, my old brain has no idea. I would expect it to be in exactly the same place, but wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. I would go to the Adobe forum to ask the community about that one. Sorry I can't help you directly!]
