So, on your case:
So your cache files get deleted from the disk randomly at some given point?
Or they get simply get disconected from DVR project?
Have you tried "Link Proxy Media" by rightclicking the files on Media Pool?
Does the Astherisk * appears before "Link Proxy Media"?
The cache folder is over 197Gb, so the cached files aren't deleted. They just become unlinked. Suddenly.
Link Proxy Media in Media Pool didn't work (is cache Proxy? I thought not). Didn't see an asterisk.
Now I'll have to delete the cache folder as there isn't enough space on the drive to remake that amount of cache
aka, start again with the Render Cache
Massive disruption to workflow
I appreciate my computer is slow but this is not workable. Every time I make a small change to the timeline I risk losing the cache
Another thing: doing something then undoing it (CTRL-Z) should just relink back to the cache. DVR won't do that. It seems to need to remake the cached files, which IMO is wasteful in terms of time and space.
Can't use internal drives. Plus, it's 2022.
Any pointers gladly received.
Thanks
