Missing Render Files
Hey there, I’ve got the classic “Missing Render Files” prompt coming up everytime I open my project. I think this happened because I was too anxious to clean out hard drive space and just went in and deleted the files manually. I’ve tried going into the Render Manager and selecting all the Render files and clearing them. However even though I’ve deleted all the render history, I still get the prompt telling me it’s missing render files. Does anyone know of a way to get Final Cut to clear those file from it’s search?

When you first open your project and the missing files window comes up, there should be check box options to “forget” any render files or media files that are missing, as well as the option to locate and reconnect either. If you choose to forget the render files, you will not get the message the next time you open the project … unless you do not save it with the render files forgotten.
Personally, I do just that at the end of every project since I don’t fully trust render files that have sat around for years while a project was in archive and would much prefer to save the storage space and just re-render if/when a project is reborn.

Well there must be something wrong with my system, because I don’t see it??? Any chance that’s a setting in the user preferences?
