ID 348724 - Error on export when offline clip is not referenced in Project Bin

When footage is imported into Nuke Studio, the clip will be created in the Project Bin, from here is can be added to the timeline.

 

When this clip is created in the Project Bin, it also links the media to the project. If the media becomes offline at any time in the projects future, as long as this clip is retained in the Project Bin, it is possible to export the media even if the media is offline.

 

One issue that has been encountered is that if this clip is not located in the Project Bin by either:

 

- importing via an EDL/XML before matching media in a new project

- deletion of clip from Project Bin

 

The clip in the timeline will still be there, but have no link to the project. (see below)

 

 

This has been shown to be an issue when exporting media. If the clip does not exist in the Project Bin, when exporting the media it will error on export.
