Re: [Avid-L2] Disappearing Renders

Is this system connected to Media Central / Interplay?  That completely changes the game on media indexing. If your Render Workspace isn't connected to the media indexer correctly, your media files will go there but will go offline as soon as you restart your local workstation. JB

John, it's worth a try!
A support ticket is the next option.
I am on a workstation, nothing shared.
I am going to try to throw the renders
to a different drive and see what that does.

I've been on a Nexis with MC 2018.12.15 this week and there is a render workspace.  All of a sudden my renders would crank out and then disappear.  It happened twice on 20 minute long render of several 1 minute safe color effects.  Then I did one effect and it stuck but then a few minutes later, maybe after a shut down and restart it disappeared as well.  I found the media files on the render workspace.  I deleted the media database files but they didn't rebuild like normal.  I pulled the one mxf subfolder out of the mxf folder and forced avid to create a new one.  Then I dragged all the files  back into the newly created subfolder.  Database rebuilt and voila the renders popped up online.  This may not be your problem but maybe a database recreation and or creation of a new subfolder on your external SSD might get rid of some funkiness.  I've not spent much time on Nexis platforms but I think little quirks like this are more common on shared storage than on my usual online dedicated storage systems.
