Render Files

(jimbo_sun) Dec 31, 2007 10:32 PM

I'd like to know what is the exact purpose of render files. I just read a few posts back saying they are only required to view the timeline playback smoothly. Does this mean that if I were to delete all my render files (to clear up hard drive space), that I would need only to re-render in order to have proper playback? Nothing of great importance would be lost, correct? (I like to archive my entire project folder when finished a project, hence my interest in freeing up useful space).

Correct.

Jimbo, if you reopen the project file after removing the preview files give the project time to recreate the CFA files (conformed audio). This process is automatic (little blue bar at the bottom of window) but if you interrupt it there's a good chance your audio will screw up. Prevalent with large files and large projects.
