Productions Panel not refreshing/projects cannot be created (With Lucidlink)

I am currently getting about 100mbps for internet.

No waiting doesn't seem to fix the issue. Normally closing all the open projects gets the Production to refresh, but the best bet is to just restart the Production. It gets really annoying when I want to move projects to other folders because I basically have to move one project at a time, and reboot the Production before every move.

The other editor hasn't used the production much yet but things seemed to working well. I'll have to ask

Well, it sounds like you're doing it quite righteously ... just getting whapped with something. Ouch!

We've never 'pinned' anything to local storage, as all our Production jobs just ran fine without it. I tested it of course, and didn't have any issues. But we just never felt the need to use it.

But then both my partner in Cape Town and myself in western Oregon have above 300Mpbs sustained down/up speeds with low latency.

Hey Neil,

Yes I have all the media in a completely separate folder from my Productions folders.

And I'm using the "pin" function in Lucidlink to keep my Productions folders "downloaded locally". I thought that might help with whatever sync issues are happening, but hasn't seemed to have done much.

Wow, that's a big pain ... yowza.

I've been working with LucidLink since their "proof of concept" days, and haven't had any issues like this. So that is rather disturbing, that you're getting this.

I assume you have all the Production and the media "out there" ... ?

My only question ... is did you put the data (media files and such) in the same folder trees as their Production projects?

I ask because that is a no-no, one is supposed to leave the Production folder tree setup by Premiere with only the project files in them, the media imported to the files should live on folders outside that Production. 

So I set up a folder structure for our shared media on those Amazon S3 servers also. Next to our Production.
