Reported Offline Content and Proxies - Neither True?

Question

Hi - and thanks for any help in advance. I am editing four videos with much of the same content and when exporting, two of them come up with the warning  along the lines of "Offline content will be replaced with proxies". When I open the project, no offline content is noted. When I pre-render the sequences, all the lines above are happy green. When I go to export a couple of clips then turn yellow in that same line but in the metadata they show as online. I see no issues with the renders. I don't make proxies upon import and don't have a file for them. New computer, never set that up. I think I am OK with the renders but don't want to have an issue when presenting or delivering. Help, please.   MacBook Pro, 48GB, Sequoia 15.6.1, PPro and Media Encoder 25.5, clips are GH7 in .mov and Black Magic recording in HQ422. All 4K being output to 1080P.

Only a little embarrassing - my SSD hard drive was full of pre-renders, about 500GB worth. Thanks for your help, both.

You can double-check your project for any offline media by using a Search Bin:

Go to File > New > Search Bin.
In the Search Bin dialog, set the following:
- Search: Status
- Find: Offline

This will generate a bin that displays any clips marked as offline in your project—even if they aren't showing up as missing in the timeline. It's a quick way to confirm that everything is properly linked before export.
