  Can’t Build Previews

  Posted by Keith Moreau on August 21, 2010 at 12:31 am

  I’m trying to test the ‘Build Previews’ functionality and I always get this error: Failed: You need to set a valid path-based preview directory in Preferences.

  Attached is the error message as well as my preferences. I went through all the preferences and I see “Media Search Paths” and put in several paths to test, and this never worked.

  Thanks for any advice.

  The easiest fix is to edit the path-based preview entry and blank out the ‘original location’ field. That way all media files regardless of their location will have their previews in the same Test Preview folder. Using the original location field you can have multiple preview folders depending on where the original files were.

  Thanks Rolf, that allowed me to create preview clips.
