Ryan – thank you so much! I had the same problem, and you’ve solved it for me! Legend.

Hey Adam, you’ll be pleased to know that your answer helped me out over a year after you posted it.

The ‘make work’ button is the animation preview checkbox. What a retarded default!….who would NOT want the footage to play!? Hmmmm.

Anyway, many thanks! 🙂

Brian, you are an absolute life-saver! and I can’t thank you enough for sorting this out.

I guess I need a lot more training in C4D when it comes to simplifying planes and polygons. I just presumed C4D could handle anything.

So the ‘Uniform Intermediate Points’ is the ‘make work option’ in this instance. I’ll be sure to look into this when I next get a free moment.

Many thanks again, I REALLY appreciate your help!

Hi Brian, thanks for responding. I’ve attached a sample project (R15).

It contains the origional extruded paths, and the single object with the soft body tag on it.

Beware, if you play it at he moment, it takes ages to preview as the text very slowly falls apart!

I really hope it’s something simple I’m missing. I’m not very experienced with Dynamics at all! (as you can tell)

Here’s the zip – 8496_bouncytextsampleproject.zip

I’ve found two solutions, or should I say ‘work-arounds’….

I’ve just opened a trimmed project that I archived a month ago to re-version. All of the video clips have the diagonal lines across them and there’s no way the clips are too short as I didn’t archive with handles.

I’ve found a very tedious and painful work-around, but I do suggest that Adobe look at this, as the Project Manager isn’t reliable at all.

What I’m doing is right-clicking on each of the clips on my timeline, and ‘revealing in project’. Then I copy that clip, and then return to the clip on the timeline, and ‘replace with clip>from bin’ and that relinks it, so you can see it in your source monitor.

Luckily I’m only re-linking a promo, and not long-form.

Failing that, I’ve just done a test where I’ve archived my trimmed project to my local HD, rather than remotely to external storage. I don’t get the diagonal lines! Hooray

Looks like a big that needs to be fixed.

That’s sadly not the case in this instance.

I’ve just opened a trimmed project that I archived a month ago to re-version. All of the video clips have the diagonal lines across them and there’s no way the clips are too short as I didn’t archive with handles.

I’ve found two solutions, or should I say ‘work-arounds’….

1) What I’m doing is right-clicking on each of the ‘supposedly offline’ clips on my timeline, and ‘revealing in project’. Then I copy that clip (to clipboard), and then return to the clip on the timeline, and ‘replace with clip>from bin’ and that relinks it, so you can see it in your source monitor.

Luckily I’m only re-linking a promo, and not long-form.

2) Failing that, I’ve just done a test where I’ve archived my trimmed project to my local HD, rather than remotely to external storage. I don’t get the diagonal lines! Hooray

Looks like a big that needs to be fixed. I hope someone out there benefits from this!
