Re: [Avid-L2] Disappearing Renders

John,

Much to my delight, that worked!
I have had to recreate most effects,
and jump through various hoops.

But the renders stay put!

This certainly made no sense to me,
but something about that MXF folder
needed an exorcism.  Creating a new folder
was what apparently did it.

I cannot thank you enough!

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.
