Wow.

That is something to look at, thx!

If I remember, Pan & Zoom has a bug or had a bug where the length of the file path played a part in whether or not the original source image could be linked. Check the path and file name for illegal characters, and check the path for how 'deep' it goes. An easy test would be to move the source image to your Desktop, and link from there. If the link sticks, your path was too 'deep' for the source images.

That's quite true about terminology.  But who said import...?

Being a pedantic old person (I also edit a print magazine and a book), since Avid can link to media (fine - good terminology), then surely the term in P&Z should be 'Link', not 'Import' as that implies that Avid media will be be created. There - I said I was pedantic.

The render issue is mostly Pan and Zoom.

I have to keep going back and reselecting the image, it's nuts.

Otherwise, black frames.  Ugh.

A few RED effects too.

I am waiting to hear back from Boris

about the latest RED revision, fingers crossed.

I have not moved anything, which would of course affect this.

There have been problems with rendering  this sequence, likely corrupt media

In process of whittling it down, I have already found one of the culprits.

Oh i didn't understand that the renders aren't sticking.  Boris is very Zen when finding stills.  It's amazing how fast it will find them sometimes and other times I can't figure out what the algorithm for finding stills is doing.  Perhaps your effects for some unknown reason to me are re-searching and finding the stills in different places?  If there are multiple copies/locations for the stills maybe Red thinks it's a new still and unrenders the effect.  Not sure if the there is a watch folder setting like in BCC Pan and Zoom for stills.  Just guessing out loud.

I have to render very time.

Not just once, can that be right?

Seems once you have the render files

it should be good.

 

May be not …?

You always have to render Boris Red or Avid Fx effects for playback.  There is nothing new about that.  You can park on them but playback requires a render.  I had some issues with Avid Fx lately and Marianna helped me out turning off OpenCL helped the preview within the interface show up properly.  That had more to do with the interface window and not Avid playback.
