11. Media Cache & Database should always be local, preferably on a 3rd SSD drive. Unfortunately that means that in a shared project setup the Cache files will get regenerated when you open the project in another room. Until Adobe gets it’s act together this is just how it is. Check the “Write XMP ID” box for a better database experience. More about Cache Files.
pr-pref-mediaNote: You get the best performance out of Premiere with all local drives. Adobe doesn’t know how to deal with files on a network!
12. Memory Default Setting>Performance. Note: Premiere will use up to 16 processors for rendering, but sequences requiring large amounts of memory – like sequences with large stills – will need too much memory and your system will potentially starve on RAM. You can make a struggling system more stable by changing this setting to Memory. Remember to change back to Performance when done.
