Replacing Offline Media Removes Edits

I'd like to report a huge bug... 

 

Opened a project to find that all the media had been offline and so when I linked it back up, I noticed that all my keyframes/edits to volume were lost in the multitrack session. I have audio that is 1+ hours long and would really hate to have to RE-EDIT the entire thing..

I am having the same issue. How can I tell if the file is corrupt? Or did someone find a fix?

Open the sesx in a text editor (make a backup first) or email it to me at the address in my last post

The sesx (session file) contains the keyframe edits 

If the media is offline and you relink that does not affect the keyframe edits.

It could be as SteveG suggests you may have a corrupted sesx

You can email it to me (info@aatranslator.com.au) and I will have a look if you like

Are you sure? My problem with your second screen shot is that I can't see any volume envelope at all on the top track. If you twirl down the arrow to the left of 'Read', you'll immediately get to a list of displayed envelopes. Is there a check beside Volume?

I'm presuming that you didn't store the session audio with the session file, in a folder of its own, and that the previous audio file location was not available when the session was reopened. If those statements aren't correct, then you possibly have a corrupted session file...
