I'm now also finding that that Premiere continuously loses its link to Render files as well. Every time I re-start the program.
Start a morning session with a client. Oh, sorry I have to render the entire sequence before we can do anything.
Play the VT. Oh sorry the audio has just dropped out. Let me start again.
This combined with the Audio issue makes it completely useless.
I can see both of these problems have been issues for quite a long time, but Adobe just seem to say it's an "intermittent" problem.
I've had it on every system I've worked on. All macs mind, using pro res footage. So maybe there is something in that.
