Help: Bizarre problem w/flashes of deleted clip showing up in other clips
This is a new one for me. I keep getting flashes of the video from a clip that I have already deleted from the timeline showing up in other clips on the timeline. It doesn’t happen with all clips on the timeline. I’ve double-checked to make sure it’s not hiding somewhere in another video track, but I don’t see anything. It’s driving me nuts. Can anyone help? Many thanks.

Are there any effects on the clip that’s having a cow that you have rendered? It could be a corrupt render file. I’ve seen it happen to others, although I’ve not encountered it myself.
If there are any effects, filters, speed, motion, anything, try trashing all your render files and re-render. If your project is organized in such a way that you can identify exactly which render files are in your current sequence, you may be able to save the other files, but most of us, even the most organized, can’t necessarily tell that.
If that doesn’t solve it, post back!

I have had that problem, to get round it i had to select all the clips in the time line make a new sequence and paste in, nothing elses seemed to work, i tried replacing and forceing rendering but thats the only way i got round it!

That advice sounded promising but no dice. I deleted all my render files. And still the same problem. No effects of any kind. Any other suggestions? I’m baffled.

Actually, I hadn’t deleted the Audio render files. Once I did that, the problem disappeared. MANY THANKS for your help!

Oh, great! I’m glad it worked out for you, Catherine!!
There’s nothing more frustrating than something that makes no sense!!

I’ve had the problem too. What worries me is that if render files aren’t updating, then how do you know you’re watching the most current changes. ie You’re going to notice a deleted clip popping up, but how do you know there isn’t a more subtle filter that you deleted still on a clip. And then when you go to create a movie, is it in the final product?
Is the safe advice to delete all render files before creating any movies?

I don’t know whether it’s safe or not, but I deleted them anyway. That seemed to solve the problem for awhile, but I’ve been seeing it again. I’ve been working on this project for two years (nearly 300 GB of video), and after all this time, my media has all gotten quite complicated. I’m thinking of deleting ALL of it and recapturing only what I’m going to use AND in a more systematic way. Best of luck to you.
