Anyone finding that Rush is deleting their movie files?

I've been developing in Rush for a couple weeks and just noticed that when I go back into projects to keep working with them that the original movies are missing. Fortunately I have a cloud backup of everything, but this is a massive pain as I do not want to continuously re-download multi-GB video files! Any ideas on how to fix the issue??

What device are you developing your video projects on? Where are your original movie files located?

MacBookPro 15", Mid 2014, 16GB ram, OS 10.13.6

My movie files are located on an external hard drive within my Lightroom CC database.

So I am using Rush to do a base edit of video content (4k footage from a Nikon D7500 and 4K footage from a DJI Osmo Pocket) and clean up of the audio (Rush has fantastic noise elimination I've found out) that I then bring into After Effects for deeper work. Friday I opened the After Effects project which had 3 missing video files out of 20 or so. The interesting thing is the missing videos are the originals, not ones that I created from Rush...just ones that Rush had used on other edits.

After going into Lightroom CC and locating the files within the software (but missing from the actual previous file location) I saved them back into the folder they should have already been present in. This fixed the error in After Effects and everything was good to go...until yesterday when I reopened the After Effects project only to find that 2 of those same 3 video files were again gone.

As of this morning I opened the After Effects project yet again and no issues...yet.

Is your external hard drive always connected, up and running?
