Why do I get missing files the next time I open Pro Tools?
This seems to be a problem with versions lower than PT12 if it you drag or spot the same exact file twice into it.
To fix: turn on “Create Unique Filenames” on the Options Page to make sure BH always makes a new fresh filename before spotting or using DnD.
