lost rendered files
Hi everyone,
I have been working on a project and once saved i closed the app. The next day i went back to keep working on it and it told me a buch of rendered files were missing.
I didn’t move or trash anything, and I tried to look but couldn’t find them anywhere….what could have caused it? i re cut the piece and saved it again but the day after some files went missing again…not as many as the other time but still…..
what am i doing wrong?
thanks -

did you happen to mute a video track? this loses all reference to rendered files on that track….

Thanks,
no i didn’t….and those files were on one track, meaning i didn’t have more than one with video on it.
i tried it again and it keeps doing it. i am starting to wonder is maybe a virus is causing this…. i know it’s a remote chance but….i really do not know, is as if the Lacie destroys them randomly.

lacie drives are horrible IMHO….the ones that use WD drives….
check your settings to make sure your render files are going to the right place…and you’re reading off that folder as well…
Macs don’t get viruses, so that can’t be the problem…maybe a reload of FCP is in order…but i’m just getting my feet wet myself..i’m sure someone else can chime in with other ideas!

Thanks Joe,
i checked an my files are all going to the Lacie. I plan to switch to a G-Raid soon.
as far as re-installing FCP….I reciecved the 5.1 upgrade…shall i re-install it from that disc or from the 5.0 and then re upgrade it? i have re-installing software and I am sure i am not the only one.
thanks again

the upgrade is probably just the upgrade…i would reinstall from the original disk, then do the upgrade again…
HTH!
