Has anyone experienced the following situation?
My work partner and I use the “Track Archive” and “Import Project Tracks” functions to combine our individual files into one project.
For example, I have a project and folder named A, and I receive files B and C from them, which are exported as track archives and project files, respectively. I then import B and C into A using the corresponding functions to consolidate all dialogue and sound effects.
In my case, I often use “Prepare Archive” to ensure all files are in the folder after import. also check the Pool to confirm the file paths are correct.
However, sometimes, if I delete B and C or rename the folders, then reopen A, there’s a chance of encountering missing files. The dialog box shows the file paths pointing to B and C.
At this point, I select “Folder” and choose A, which usually resolves half or more of the missing paths. For the remaining missing files, I have to point them back to B and C’s original locations—even if A already contains these files, Nuendo seems doesn’t recognize them as valid paths.
To avoid missing files again, I must use “Backup Project.” after everything is in the project folder. Otherwise, deleting B and C will still cause errors. Typically:
• Track Archive: Missing audio files.
• Project Import: Incomplete edits folder.
Sometimes the files are already in the target folder but need to be copied again for unknown reasons. At one point, I ended up with five copies of the same file in a folder.
Occasionally, Nuendo misses some files during automatic copying. This issue can even arise weeks later if I rename A’s folder to AA, move it to another hard drive, or share the project with a friend.
This has been bothering me for a long time—from Nuendo 10 until now—and my friends who use Nuendo also encounter this problem.
However, I haven’t seen anyone discussing it on forums. Is it possible that no one else has this issue?
I’ve emailed Steinberg about this before, but they said I need to reproduce the problem from the very beginning and provide screen recordings, but it’s hard to reproduce it since it’s random.
