A dark red slice and an exclamation point means the application cannot find the media data.

Where is the source clip from? Did you capture it using the logging tool, or did you import it into a rack? Have you been moving/deleting clips outside of liquid?

You know this makes a great point, often I even forget myself, when I am working in Premiere or After Effects, I will convert to huffyuv from mpg and delete the mpg file, and delete media files by accident that Premiere is using, this will cause a weird screen in Premiere so just remember NEVER and I mean NEVER delete ANY files you are using for your projects until the Project is 100 percent finished. I always make double sure I am finished before I delete any images or media files I used in the making of my productions, this became a pain here recently when I worked on a project for a baseball team, I deleted some avi files I forgot I had embedded on the timeline.. BIG mistake as these were a series of After Effects animations I exported to avi and was building this complex timeline with.. needless to say I had to rebuild the animations (4 hours) and start all over again because the new animations were a tad longer and disrupted the timeline in Premiere so everything had become one big mess. lol Here is a snapshot of the timeline I am talking about, just one timeline and DVD production in a 4 video/timeline production.
