[Avid-L2] Odd loss of Safe Color Upper Track Render?

 

Working on multiple projects in 4K ville.  I finished one and had completely rendered an upper track safe color limit.  Over the weekend I worked on another 4K project and opened the finished project sequence in the new project to cut in some common elements of Bars to slate and open animation and also some end logos.  I consolidated that media to the new volume for the new show.

Today when I opened up the finished show it it's own project the safe color was unrendered.  I had archived the project so when I opened the archived sequence the safe color renders were present.  I duplicated that working sequence and then did some relinking tests and if I relink the sequence to the source media volumes the safe color unrenders.  There is no duplicate media and I've been very careful where the source and render media is placed. 

If I sub sequence the safe color track and show rendered effects I can see the render media is still online but for some reason when I relink the sequence to the various storage volumes different sections of the safe color become unrendered and if I relink to all drives the entire safe color track gets unrendered.  Going back to the archived sequence shows all the renders in place.  It's almost like when I had the sequence open in the other project I might have said relink when I didn't have the media online and the sequence decide to relink to offline media that was not present.  The sequence still has the source media online so I don't see what is really going on.  I have seen in the past that if I delete an imported clip the upper track safe color does not unrendered when I delete the media.  The imported clip will show offline the the safe color will still show video and render.  It's when I reimport the file that the safe color goes unrendered.  I'm thinking something similar to this may have have happened.  Kinda like because the media was ama linked transcodes when I accidentally told the sequence to relink with no media online it reverted to linking to the ama original files and when I go back to the original project it shows as unrendered.  This might explain why the archived sequence still had the render but when I copy that sequence and do a relink again the safe color goes offline.

I bit the bullet and went back to the first project and deleted the render media by actually deleting not just clearing renders and then when I rerender if I relink the sequnce I no longer have the safe color track becoming unrendered.  It seems what ever I did created some sort of mob conflict and while I could stick with the archive sequence and have the renders stay the iffyness of it makes it worth a rerender.

Haven't run into this kind of head scratchier in a long time.  I just don't understand why when I subsequence the safe color track and display rendered effects they are shown as online but clearly some part of the mob data is telling the sequence to break the render link.

Any thoughts I should be mulling over besides a new career in Bait and Tackle?  I hear earth worms don't require plugins or media management.  ;-)
