"Offline material is present in this export and will be encoded using the Offline Media" Error

Question

When I try to export my feature length film, I get this error message and then the program crashes.

I don't have any offline material in the film. When I go to relink from the sequence file the relink button is not enabled. However, when I restart the program, a bunch of offline files do pop up before the program re-opens but non of them are in my sequence.

I rendered the entire sequence so I know that is not the issue.

Any advice?

Thank you,

Sara

Thank you, I imported my sequence into a new project and was finally able to output. But had to re-render. So sounds like rendering was the issue.

yeah its a rendering issue, for next time just delete the render files no need to make a work around

and import the sequence into a new project ... when you render over and over, you have to delete

your render files from time to time

1) Verify that you don't have any of that offline material hidden in the sequence my mistake.

Add the Video Usage Column to your Project Panel List View Metadata display and see if any of those off line files have instances in your timeline.

2) If you have rendered the entire timeline, then when you export try checking the box for "use Previews" and see if it will export.
