  • DV Project in CS3 loosing renders after reboot of computer

    Posted by Matthew Taylor on February 20, 2008 at 3:15 pm

    I have just installed the CS3 Master Suite and am beginning work on a project in DV. I have set my project up for DV pal / 4:3 and began working with a few clips and layered PSDs to have a look at some initial graphic tests and and test some grades/looks on the video footage.

    When I restart my machine however, or power down and come back to the project the render work area bar at the top is always red for the entire timeline despite having been previously rendered out and the project being saved.

    The render files are not offline and Premiere does not ask to find/reconnect the files when I re-open the project. I just have to render the timeline from scratch each time I open the project after rebooting. The scratch disks (media and previews) are set up on an external 80Gb hard drive thru USB 2.0, but this has never been an issue before with any older versions of Premiere.

    Has anyone come across a similar problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards

    Does this happen if you shut down the premiere project, or only when you do a system reboot?

    I would suspect that it has to do with either:
    1. Media Cache files are being corrupted or changed by windows (these are usually found on the C: drive in the adobe folder)
    2. The fact that you are using an external drive can be causing some confusion for the software. But this usually manifests when PPro will ask you where a file is. Strange.

    Go under Prefs and look at all options for your previews, scratch, etc. and make sure it is pointing correctly.

    Hi Matt

    I write again. I am having what sounds like the same issue regarding memory of the rendered timeline. My project was running fine but it seems that ive reached a point where it no longer holds the green rendered time line bar. On opening the project its asking for a render.
    Did you get to the bottom of the problem? or have you thrown you pc into the ocean? Which is what I am toying with at the moment.

    Very frustrating
