  • Why don’t renders and media re-connects get saved?

    Hoping someone can help me with what I imagine is a pretty basic issue…

    Whenever I open my ProRes 422 HQ project, I always see two problems:

    (1) I get a warning that 160 audio files need to be reconnected
    (2) About 20% of my timeline requires rendering for video and audio

    Neither of the above is a problem in and of itself. I simply reconnect the audio files and render out the unrendered timeline sections.

    I then SAVE my project and work normally. And of course I SAVE again just before I quit for the day (in addition to frequent auto-saves).

    But the next day, when I boot up my Mac and re-open the project, I still see the above two issues! I then have to reconnect media AGAIN and render the same sections AGAIN! Never fails.

    How come these changes never get saved? What can I do to ensure that these items get saved? The reconnecting media is not a big deal but the re-rendering takes an hour.

    Any input appreciated.

    I have a similar issue: everytime I start the project there are 4 clips that need to to be reconnected. Saving won’t change anything, next time I open the project those files are missing again.
    Even worse: when I try to open a auto saved version after a crash, all clips a offline! That makes autosaving useless (this project contains almost 4500 clips).

    Any clues?
