Premiere has to re-render every time I close and reopen a project?
Hey folks,
I’m running Premiere Pro CS6 and am running into this annoying issue of the program not saving renders when I close/re open a project. If I render clips, close the app, then come back, Premiere “forgets” and has to render all over again!
This is supremely irritating and a time waster. Is this some sort of bug? What could the solution be?

What are your system specs? Where is the project located drive wise?

My first thought is that it can’t find its scratch disks. Maybe try setting to “same as project” (if not already) and see if you’re still losing render files?

Hey folks, thanks for answering.
The scratch disk is the “same as project,” and I’m editing off an external drive on a Macbook Pro Retina, 2.8Ghz Intel Core i7.
Today, I opened the project and it seems like it has kept its render files. This is truly bizarre. Any theories?

The External drive is likely causing it. The drive signature may not be recognized by the media browser and it will go to regenerate the files then.

Sorry to update everyone again, but Premiere is still giving me this problem. I’ve been editing off this drive for awhile now, without issue, so I don’t understand why this would be happening.
FYI, I am using many Dynamically linked Comps with After Effects in my Premiere timeline. AE was giving me this message a few weeks ago that “the disk cache is full” or something along those lines, so I emptied it, though it is currently set to “69 GB” though I’m not sure how AE came to that rather huge number.
Does anyone think some of the problems may lie in AE and the Dynamic link?

Yes Dynamic Link could be causing the Media Browser not to recognize the files. Run a scan on that drive with Disk utility and makes sure the partition table integrity is good.
