Huge timing bug/error/problem…help?
ARGH. for reasons unknown to me, a large number of my shots have lost their timing. All the footage on my time line from 3 imported video files has gone back by a few seconds. Every clip on the timeline with that footage in it is still the same length, but of a previous bit of footage. So where things were all timed to perfection, its gone straight to hell. I have 8 sections of footage and from what i can tell 2, 8, and 6 are the ones that have been affected.
Before this happened i was getting a media offline error for some footage (probably the same ones come to think of it), but after running the updater, that was fixed and i had normal footage back. or so i thought.
Sorry for the impolite asking here everyone, but if i cant fix this, its going to be a cataclysmic failure for my major work. -

What’s the format of your video?

the video is HD mpeg format, Ive got a sony HD camera so i just imported straight in. I had numerous saves in many different locations, but i think its the “encoded files” folder is that the change has been applied to, because all of the save files do exactly the same thing with those 3 clips.
The only solution i can think of is use one of the low res exports i made 2 days ago and match the shots back up.

Well ive put the shots back in their original places, took about 3 hours but the main thing is its fixed. I put a low quality export i had made previously on the timeline and matched the shots up to it, just for future reference if anyone else finds the same problem. thanks for your help.

My initial thinking was that your system is not able to keep up with the high quality rendering. Perhaps your files resides on an external SATA HDD? Or you might have a bottle-neck somewhere. Well, the good news is, you figured a way around.
