This happens to me in both version 18 and 19 Beta. I'm editing on a Macbook M3 Pro.
This doesn't happen with all the files in the project, it seems to be that they go "offline" randomly. You can actually edit, but some thumbnails appear and others disappear. When exporting, sometimes it's not possible, it says the file is offline when in fact I can read it.
When files goes "offline" does that mean you lose your work?
Or is it just an annoyance?
I thought you could manually bring offline files offline, but maybe when this happens, it destroyes your edits and times since the source files are gone?
Please elaborate!

The problem disappears, but editing becomes much slower. At least it allows exporting without a problem.
What are the specs of the files you are having issues with?
H.264?
H.265?
H.265 Intra-Frame?
What camera are the files from?
How much RAM do you have?
Are you working off your internal drive, or off of external drives?
Does this happen with ProRes files?
