Corrupt audio conform files - how to find and delete

[Trevor_Asq]

was using low res H264 proxies with multitrack AAC audio. Playback was pretty poor especially audio. I suspect it is the confirm files created, and I’d like to be able to delete them - is there an easy way to find them in media cache?

thanks

Look in your Edit/Preferences/Media Cache for the location ... the .pek files are the audio ones.

Captured audio & audio previews location is in the File/Project Settings/Scratch Disk dialog.

Thanks Neil - I knew where they were & the .pek are the peak files I believe. The .ims are the confirmed sound files. But they are tricky to find for one particular file and I was hoping for a right-click ‘recreate cache files’ type option

Easiest way is to just dump the cache. Typically doesn't take too long to rebuild. Perhaps do it while getting ready to leave for lunch.

Hi Trevor_Asq,

As suggested by R Neil, clearing the media cache may fix the issue. Here are the steps: FAQ: How to clean (delete or trash) media cache files?

Trevor_Asq,

Did you delete media cache yet? Do let us know.

Thanks,

I’ve deleted my media cache multiple times (I clear it out between projects) but the request still stands - be good to be able to ‘clear cache/pek/CFa/ims‘ for a selected clip - rather than for *all* clips.

It’s  not my highest on my wish list though!

Thanks for the interest
