Sharing a project after making changes does not replace original file
This has been happening to me with several versions on several systems. I share my project to a quicktime file. Then I make changes to the project and share a new file, replacing the original. Rather than writing a new file with the recent changes made, it simply makes a copy of the original file. I can always tell right away when this happens because the write time takes less than a second. There are obviously plenty of work-arounds to this, but can anyone explain why this is happening? Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a bug? This tends to only happen if I’m writing to the exact same original file (same name, format, and folder location) though it has happened when writing to a new location as well.

I’ve never had this happen – when I choose to export a project with the same name in the same location, it always overwrites. The only case I can think of is if you choose a different output format, in which case the extension may be different.
What format are you sharing?

same here, but I recognized this just yesterday,…
I rendern out a master (ProRes Mov), edit changes, rerender a file with the same name, accept overwrite, then the render starts, after a second it shows render completed – but it is still the old file – very strange!!

That’s exactly what is happening to me. All different formats, .mp4, h.264, prores, etc. This doesn’t always happen, but it has been happening fairly often going back a few versions. Any thoughts?
