Our company has our computers locked down pretty tightly for security as far as updates – so I’m actually still on 5.5.0 myself.

Any chance you can repost this picture if you still have it? It’s not showing up anymore.

You’re right. It’s just that you never know when you’re going to run into someone who hasn’t update yet and we need things to just work.

If I update my AE Project to CS6 can it be opened in CS5?

Quantel Pablo Neo. I suppose we could do the reference QT but the list would ensure precision.

Thanks for the quick responses.
It’s possible that someone had unchecked the dropped frames “Warn next time” box and it recently got re-enabled. And truth be told, dropping a frame here and there during playback probably isn’t an issue because so far we’re only exporting files, not outputting to tape. The filmmakers are just a little concerned at what appears to be a recent, new problem. And I’m curious if something did change since last week.

I’ll check it out.
What would Disk Warrior do? Does it free up space somehow?

They are individual drives. I only recently came on the project.
Ok, I’ve done a little more digging and here’s else I’ve gathered. The dropped frames only happen when moving to or from the timeline-native 2K footage to any kind of rendered footage (color corrected, rescaled 5D footage, or subtitles). If it’s playing a section of only rendered clips, there are no dropped frames (where it’s only going from rendered clip to rendered clip). So, it drops frames when going from a light-blue bar to gray bar on the timeline.
Could there be some issue with my Render Files folder?

Should I delete this post and repost in the biz forum or is that bad ettiquette?

Any tips for managing this many audio tracks without losing sync?
-
How many audio tracks is common to have on a given shot? Also, when you sync the audio, is there a way to get rid of the scratch audio?
-
Yeah, I can see that would save a ton of work.
But is this the way it’s usually done? This means the editor has to keep 8 tracks of audio in sync in a final cut timeline; moving this many tracks around would be tedious and could become out of sync. Is there any way to collapse a merged clip so you can only see a track or two (but still maintains all 8 audio tracks)?
