We're nearly at a complete standstill. Media goes offline every 5 minutes. Making it offline and then relinking will sometimes buy you another 5 minutes. Software rendering does not fix it. Runnning all pending windows updates didn't fix it. Blowing away all preferences and plug-in caches doesn't fix it. Sychronizing all computer and server time(s) doesn't fix it. New projects don't fix it. Upgrading to 14.4 didn't fix it. Rolling Quadro P4000 drivers forward, then backward, then backward about 6 times didn't fix it. Reinstalling Premiere didn't fix it. Blowing away all caches--all of them--fixed it. For about 6 minutes. Because I suspect that's how long it took to create a bunch of corrupt caches again. This ia an absolute show-stopper in a PRODUCTION, as if the project the file resides in is open and in use by another user (you know--the thing that makes PRODUCTIONS useful?) you need to contact them (pray they're at their desk) and get them to either make the clip offline and relink it, or relinquish control so you can do it. Every. Five. Minutes. We're not rocking some wack-ass social media app codec here--bog standard XDCAM, DNxHD and ProRes. Broadcast formats that have been ironed out for eons. There should be no surprises here. Have sat on hold with Adobe for 2 40 minute sessions now, and when it eventually forces me to leave a call back number, it never beeps, and then just give me dead air...into which I give my name and number (can't hurt, right?), and then never hear back. Really, really, really, really not digging on Adobe right now. Not at all. Not even a little bit. Like, I'm angry turning on my computer in the morning knowing this is the mess I have to face with deadlines looming. Our chief technology officer this morning: "Remind me why you don't use Resolve instead? I can't seem to find as many people screaming about show-stopping issues like these in that camp..."
