Steve,

Thanks for your incredibly optimistic and insightful post. And, especially, I’d like to thank you for emphasising how often you SHOULD NOT CHANGE THE FILE STRUCTURE by the clever use of CAPITALS.

Anyway, turns out is an easy fix.

Good job I learned that before I read your post.

THANKS ANYWAY STEVE!!!!!

OK, tried that, and the results were as follows;

Items to index – 137
Remaining – 479

I checked the Media Cache and Preview folders though.

In the new, copied project, I had:

Media Cache Folder: 485 PEK files
Preview Folder: Empty

In the original project the Preview Folder was also empty (This is located on the F drive, a drive solely for media.

The Media Cache folder is located on the C drive. There are two folders;

Media Cache – Contains 6410 MCDB files
Media Cache Files – Contains 15500 files made up of CFA, IMS, MPGINDEX, PEK, QTINDEX and 1 XDCAMHDASSOC file.

However, these folders are not subdivided by project, just one big folder.

I also checked the preview folders for some of the project that had copied over successfully, and most of them are empty. One or two have a few PEK files in.

I’m lost when it comes to all this stuff? Does this make any sense?

Hi Eric,

Tried that, slight difference.

So before, I had, on one specific project;

Items to index – 137
Remaining – 274

Tried your method, and I had;

Items to index – 137
Remaining – 270.

It’s doing something, but not sure what.

Thanks Eric, I’ll give that a shot and let you know

Hi Ann,

Thanks for your reply.

F is in an internal drive. The footage is all in the same place it has been all along. Haven’t changed any folder or file names etc.

I get the exact same problem if I uninstall and remove the matrox box.
