Check Project

Check Project is a pre-show validation report. Before you go live it scans the whole project and flags anything that commonly causes problems on stage — missing files, mixed audio sample rates, codec pitfalls — so you can fix them while there is still time.

Open it from the Header menu (☰) → Check Project. The report recomputes every time you open the modal, so it always reflects the current project state; use Re-check to refresh it after making changes.

New in 3.2.

The Report

A summary banner at the top states the overall result and how many clips were checked. Below it, each check appears as its own block with a severity, a short summary, an optional recommendation, and a list of the affected items.

🟢 OKNothing to do for this check
🔵 InfoWorth knowing, no action required
🟠 WarningLikely to cause trouble — review before the show
🔴 ErrorWill break playback — fix before going live

What It Checks

CheckSeverity when it triggersWhat it means
Missing media files🔴 ErrorOne or more clips reference a file that can't be found. Re-link or restore the media.
Mixed audio sample rates🟠 WarningThe project mixes several audio sample rates. Standardise on one rate and set the output device / ASIO driver to match.
Non-HAP video files🟠 WarningVideo clips use a codec outside the HAP family, which may not decode on the GPU. Consider transcoding to HAP for reliable 4K+ playback.
HAP block alignment🟠 WarningHAP clip dimensions are not a multiple of 4. HAP encodes in 4×4 blocks, so unaligned dimensions can cause edge artefacts — re-export at aligned dimensions.
NDI sources present🟠 WarningThe project depends on live NDI sources. Confirm the senders are online and reachable before the show.
Empty compositions / tracks🔵 InfoCompositions or tracks contain no clips — usually harmless, but often a sign of leftover scaffolding.

A clean project shows every check as OK with a "Project looks good" summary.
