Hi everyone,



Just noticed a new problem when editing some model airplane footage. I like to use shadowfiles, becuse my system is old, and I need it enabled to be able to scrub through videos. I'm getting an error message now. "the shadow file is unavailable because it is broken or contains an error.



Help!!

As always, did you wait long enough? All the bars must be green.

Have you cleaned you hard drive recently The shadow file folder may be full. Sorry, I don;t know where it is. .

I know you must wait for it to finish, but it doesn't even begin to process the shadowfile, the error pops up. I thought by going into general settings, and manually deleting any shadow files created would suffice? Do I also need to locate the folder on my drive and delete any files in there as well?



thank you

I know this problem..and the solution is very simple.

Delete the content in the directorie ShadowEditfiles, pd will now build a new shadow file.

Problem solved, I think, anyway in my case was this the solution. PC with Win10 Pro 64, Intel i7 2600 ,8 Gb Memory, Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 and a lot of Hard drives
