Re: .ptx file corruption-missing audio and video files- no way to relink-
Yep I've seen this happen some time ago (1-2 years), I think it was either PT 12.5.2 or 12.8.1. All audio that was in the session when first opened is now gone, only the new audio (either soundminer or rendered) was in the timeline. All audio was still present in the Audio Folder. There was no problem when saving or closing, no errors or any sign something was wrong. Just when reopening the session later on the issue revealed itself. The session is indeed much smaller, as are the session backups.
All important modifications where mix adjustments on the auxes, they were all still present. We were able to combine the latest mix automation and the new audio files with an older still working session and work from there.
I have not been able to reproduce this, nor find any clues to why this happened. Also this never happened again since. It's a bit worrying this can still happen with PT 2019.6.
