Problem (2) solved – Just turned UAC off. Now everything works fine permissions wise. Now I just need help with:
Problem (1) – I’m not sure if I was clear enough the first time so I’ll explain the problem again and try to be a bit more detailed. Avid can’t find audio files it was having no trouble finding previously. I noticed this when a recent render was missing audio fragments it wasn’t before. Analyzing the problem told me two things – first, Avid thinks the .aif files are on a drive they should not have been on and second, Avid can no longer find the .aif when I use ‘reveal file’.
The original 24-bit wav files I recorded are all still in a separate audio folder on the J: drive (J:\Avid MediaFiles\Audio). All of the .aif audio files which Avid has created over the course of the project from these wav’s are also on the J: drive (J:\OMFI MediaFiles). I am unsure whether Avid still has the .aif files and simply cannot locate them or whether something happened to the .aif files.
In this situation what is the easiest way to get my missing audio clips working again? I don’t really understand how I would go about reimporting / relinking and there’s the possibility that the files Avid is looking for are still on the drive. I’m confused here – there’s got to be a quick & easy way to do this one way or the other.
Thanks for replying to my original post!
