Yes, if your source media was shorter after coming out of resolve, then you will see danger stripes wherever the pre-graded media would have extended into the sequence clips. There’s no really easy way of fixing it because all the method involve getting the media to point back to that original source or a fully intact new version of it.
In the future, using Speedgrade may make round tripping a bit more straightforward for you. Better yet the next version of prpro will have a lot of new color feature built in which will keep you from having to round trip media out of prPro at all.

It sounds like you might have the work area bar (also known as render bar) displayed and confined to a certain portion of your timeline. If so, you can size it out to encompass your whole sequence, or you can make it go away by going the the timeline fly-out menu (in the upper left of the TL, next to the sequence name.

“Renamed the low REZ folder”
Is probably the problem. It’s losing the link to those files at the folder that you renamed. Try making everything with danger stripes offline then link media again through that modified parent.Software Quality Assurance – Digital Video at Adobe Systems

How about…
“Your issue suggests that the problem is occurring during export. My first instinct is that the bitrate in your export settings is too low. Try using a different 1080p preset and don’t modify it. The current YouTube preset has a max bitrate of 16mbps, which is more than enough to achieve crisp text at nearly any size.”

🙂I’ve been thinking about it too, and can’t come up with any more likely scenario than that, given that you created those titles within PrPro and they look okay in sequence + program mon.

[Michael Paul] “Is the only option to move the specific clip to a new audio track – expand this track and shrink down the other tracks so that it will not display a waveform?”
You can also go to Timeline Display Settings (wrench icon) and uncheck “Show Audio Waveform”. But either way it’s not clip-specific and does not prevent pek or cfa files from generating, because they are necessary for playback. If you really don’t want them to generate, make their associated source files offline and relink them later when you’re ready to let the necessary conform & index files generate. -
Titles shouldn’t be showing as purplish blocks in the first place, not to mention disappearing. What video card/driver are you using?

The only cases where ‘Make Offline’ should be greyed out is if it’s already offline or if it’s synthetic media and not linked to any media on disk. So I think you just need to select whichever files are already linked, and nothing else, and make those offline before doing link media again.
Don’t worry about the cuts you made int he timeline. You just need to point the source files to the right place, and then they will match to whatever you did with them in sequence(s). In other words, you want to be selecting things only in the project panel right now because it it’s your project (source) files that need to be relinked correctly. Selecting things in the timeline will just make things very confusing.

I’m not sure how you would go about converting the xml metadata into selective text file(s) that you can use standalone outside of PrPro and CS/CC. But perhaps Prelude could help here?
If you ingest into Pl it will read the xml data you authored in PrPro, then you can do a rough cut there and add markers and other logging info before sending the whole thing back to PrPro for final editing. I know it seems like a somewhat circular workflow, but it’s the best I could think of at this time. Perhaps someone has a more straightforward solution though… let’s see.

[Merel Shermer] “I can’t relink media, or go to project link media.”
Why not?
Have you tried:
Select all in project panel, got to File > Make Offline and then File > Link Media and point to the right file this time.
or you could also try Replace Footage for selected file(s) and point to different files as needed.Software Quality Assurance – Digital Video at Adobe Systems

Because 0 means flush left and 100 means flush right for a forward (left-to-right) wipe. So in the scenario you described. the end point ends up being before the start point and it has to push the start point to 44 to prevent reverse direction. Move the sliders around below each half of the 2-up preview (still in ECP) and you’ll see what I mean… one slider starts pushing the other over to prevent an invalid switch. If you check the reverse button then you can set values like 56 on the left and 44 on the right because that’s the direction the wipe is moving in that case.
My only question is why it doesn’t happen with ALL you clips. Is there something about your scenario I don;t understand?
