Premiere 24.0: Preview Renders Keep Going Offline

I noted a workaround in the original post. If something appears unrendered, mute the clip and turn it back on. The renders relinked for me.

This problem persists even after upgrading to 24.3 yesterday, on March 27, 2024. Five months later, it is still a solid issue. I don't even need to restart my computer for it to do this. The ENTIRE timeline goes back to yellow and red after quitting and restarting the application.

Yes, I know. Rendering is my way of knowing what is done in the timeline. Plus, the export is super-fast when you export your preview settings.

ready to hit export........,.So, I have to re-render the whole thing again.

You don't need to render to export unless you check use previews when exporting.

One other "feature" of this nasty bug: If you accidentally cut and paste your entire timeline, you will lose connection to all your renders. You cannot UNDO this. I had an entire finished sequence, ready to hit export, I moved my hand across the keyboard and hit control V by accident when I pasted it back, all renders were gone. When it tried to undo my actions, all the renders were gone. So, I have to re-render the whole thing again.

Thanks, Kevin. It started in the Bugs thread. Someone moved it to Troubleshooting, and now it is moving back to Bugs. I'm glad someone at Adobe is seeing I didn't imagine this. Absolutely new behavior with 24.0 and not 23.x before the upgrade. Cheers.

Hi @MarcCebrian, @fugzo, @kathryns11060067,

I read your notes. Sorry for the issue. I can reproduce the problem. I moved this thread into the bugs forum and I have notified the team.

Thanks,
Kevin

Are your Media Cache files on an external drive that doesn't have a fixed drive letter?

Same and it's bringing my editing to a standstill. Why you can't link to render files like you would media is baffling. I have the render files all done and ready in a folder, but no way to link them.
