    Has this happened to anyone? There is a clip that was digitized last spring with locators placed by another editor. I have been working with it this week and added a bunch of locators of my own. Today those locators have disappeared, but the old ones from the other editor remain. The earliest attic bin I have is two days back and the locators are missing in that one too. The ones that were edited into the cut are still there, as are my locators in clips from other bins I have been working with.

    Does anyone know how all of the locators by a particular editor can disappear from a clip? I doubt they would be accidentally deleted, they have never been sorted by user.

    Are there two versions of this clip somewhere?

    I considered, that. I have seen changes disappear from a master clip when an copy was opened up from an older bin. I think if you are working with a clip from a locked bin over the unity, it is possible for the original clip to wipe out changes in some instances if you haven’t Saved As yet.

    However this on isn’t on a server, and the only other place it could have been referenced is from Media Tool. There was a force quit yesterday, but that was days after the locaters were added so there shouldn’t have been an older “clean” version.
