Greg, no dice so far. I tried trimming the project into a new location but same deal. Whats happening now is that everytime I start a new project my scratch disk setting remain pointing towards my last project. If i set it to “same as project” I get that weird \\?\F;\projects\ and so I have to set it custom. If I dont catch it Im rendering stuff all over the place and have been burned a bunch. Curious to hear if you found anything on your end. Scott
