Relinking your media in Adobe Premiere Pro

[@DaftRebel]

Mate, I allways end up watching your videos for a comprehensive guideline. This is totally what I needed to re-link the files on a new SSD I'm using now.

Can you explain how to relink offline graphic materials by premiere composer (mr horse) - it seems that it doesn't work the same

[@arnelreodique]

Hi there. I have a problem with relinking the media. So I transferred my files from MAC to PC. When I relinked the media, I got danger stripes on some clips. And most of the clips are not matched/aligned with how I slipped. I followed your linking instructions, checked what needs to be checked and still got errors. All clips are there in the sequence, but they're not adjusted accordingly.

[@VideoRevealed]

It's very hard to know what's going on without seeing the Project. Sorry.

[@Greece360]

I changed my external hard drive name without thinking and now all my projects need re linking. Is there a way to find out what was the name I had before I changed it? I regret it😔

[@wboender]

ok so im in a weird situation, i never moved any of the files, but when premiere updated it offlined a ton of my footage of a 37 minute long video, and when i try and relink it premiere tells me that the importer reported a generic error which doesnt help at all. google tells me to make a copy of the file to fix the issue but i dont want to do that for ~200 different clips. it also says it has to do with the file type but everything is a .mov so i have no idea whats going on

[@apod-gaming]

Here we start with files that could not be found. I got audio files I wanna move to a new folder. Would love to be able to just mark my files and select my new destination for selected files and execute a move.

[@VideoRevealed]

Close the Project. Move the media. Open the Project. Relink to the new location. Save the Project.

[@LuisMengo]

I'm trying to relink 40TB of media to a RAID (it was originally linked to several smaller drives), but it takes forever to locate the files since it needs to read through a huge amount of files. Just matching file name and file extension (I could match Tape Name instead but that is much slower). Do you know what could make it faster? Would it help to have more RAM and/or a better processor on my computer?

[@VideoRevealed]

I doubt more RAM or CUP would make it faster. It's most likely drive speed.

[@gwheyduke]

Not clear on The definition of "off lining" ? I'm thinking it's getting media outside of your computer?

[@VideoRevealed]

Offline, in this case, means the media is missing. Premiere Pro doesn't know where it is because it's been moved.

[@luisdiaz3635]

Hello, Colin. How do I tell premiere to replace the clip name in the timeline with the new "re-linked" footage. I was using proxies before but now replacing these with the original RED footage. I'd like to to see the RED extension on the clip name in the timeline. Thanks for your time and all of your informative/useful videos.

[@VideoRevealed]

Relinking to new footage shows the name of the new clip in the Timeline. Not sure why it's not working for you.

I am facing A problem that I can Relink the offline media one by one only so why I can't relink all of them at the same time? I have Adobe premiere cc 2019.

[@VideoRevealed]

Try turning off some of the options in the Match File Properties section of the Link Media dialog box.

[@SolihullRog]

It seems to get lost. It tells me a lot of intuitive things, but doesn't get to my problem. I didn't migrate my project - I created a set of 'temporary folders', and based my project on them. The project is now completed and I want it to point at my 'permanent folders'. I carried out the re-linking and it seemed easy. Then I renamed my 'temporary folders' to ensure that I could delete them. I can't, because the project is still pointing at them. This article doesn't help me to shake them off.

[@VideoRevealed]

Quit Premiere Pro before deleting folders on the desktop. Premiere Pro does not know you renamed the folders so it's still connected to them. If you quit Premier Pro, then the folders are free to delete. This is not a Premiere Pro problem, it's just how your operating systems works.

[@gwheyduke]

So..I ran out of SD card space while making a video. Now half the video is on one card and the other half is on a new one. How do I continue to edit the video with the new card with out losing all the media from the old card?

[@VideoRevealed]

Import everything to your computer. Import everything into Premiere Pro. The not easy part is now you have to sort out which clips to use and continue your edit. There's no automated way to do that, you have to do it manually.

[@NikhilDharne]

Hey! i've my film rushes stored on an hdd (is there a safer way to store them? i constantly fear of losing it since a hdd I not that reliable?) and the wire was plugged out while editing and i lost the link of all my videos/ when i re-plugged the hdd, i tried linking the media back, but all the files in the same folder were not getting linked at one go. Now, i have 2.5 hour long rushes patches together unlinked. i'm losing hours on linking them individually! any solution for the same?

Yes.

[@byjakeburgess]

When I relink my footage to my proxies, the clip in the timeline starts back at the beginning of them. All my shots just return to the first frame with the slate. Why is this?

[@VideoRevealed]

That sounds like Premiere Pro is not recognizing that the relinked clips are the same as the original clips. If you need to relink with new Proxies, this might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5DHnJaCirqhj6M

[@KuldeepDhab]

Does "Adobe Premiere Pro" allows to make a file in which the media is attached to the file itself (doesn't matter what size it can go), just like Animate?

[@VideoRevealed]

Everything in Premiere Pro is independently linked to a specific asset. Not sure if that answers your question.

[@KuldeepDhab]

@@VideoRevealed I mean videos lost in the first place because they are not embedded in the file, just like in Adobe illustrator when the location of the media moves they disappear from the original file.

[@mariocarnival]

What if you want to change the name of your project or move your media files to different locations but keeping consistent the whole project? Is there a way we can do it updating the media relinking automatically?

Im trying to change drives. How do I get the missing link box to show

[@VideoRevealed]

It usually appears when you open a Project with missing media so if that's not happing then Premiere Pro thinks all the media is online. You can search for missing media in the Project panel, Right-click on all the missing clips and select Link Media.

here's a weird problem....i have premiere pro 2020 and if i try to import any mp4 file that has already been used in a project in my previous version of PP (CS5) it will not let me import the file (error received is "The file has an unsupported compression type). It will allow other mp4 files, even ones filmed with the same camera, but as soon as they have been used at least once in a CS5 project, I can no longer import them into 2020 PP. Tried renaming the files, changing their location - all to no avail. I did a test where i imported a freshly recorded mp4 file into PP2020 and it imported properly. Closed out of 2020 without saving, then i tried importing the same file into CS5 PP and that also worked. I Saved the CS5 project, closed it, then once again tried importing the file into 2020 PP - and this time it does not work!! So there is definitely something going on that once a file has been used in CS5, it can never be used in 2020PP. I doesn't make any sense to me, and was wondering if anyone has a solution to this? (Note i have tried uninstalling/reinstalling just one and also both versions, and makes no difference).

If I want to link to a different drive where I have made a copy and want to work from that driv instead. maybe I have it on a slow HDD and want to keep that as a backup and now want to work on a fast SSD where I have made a copy to all my media files

[@VideoRevealed]

Not sure if you have a question. If you want to relink to a different folder, try this: 1. Quit Premiere Pro 2. Rename the folder where the media is on your HDD 3. Launch Premiere Pro and open the Project. 4 Choose the new location when asked to link media.

Hi Colin! I have the following situation - a concert with 6 cameras in 4K 50 fps resolution has been filmed and my computer does not drag this material. There is one more problem with this - I don't have a media encoder and I can't compile proxy files. All material is in .mov format. The question - if I re-export all this footage in 1080 format to .mp4 - will it be possible after the material has been assembled and will have to be exported to replace the small file with the large one? This problem is caused by working on a 2009 Mac Pro that has undergone a maximum upgrade, but still can't handle these files.

[@VideoRevealed]

Correct, the Proxy and original must have the same audio channels. If you let Premiere Pro create the Proxies, then they are guaranteed to work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2qWnpWLlpWbY9k Audio channels can be mono, stereo, adaptive or 5.1. Your Proxies audio channels do not match the original media.

what if i relink it successfully, the clips are alright in the source monitor, but in the timeline monitor it still says "Media offline"?

[@VideoRevealed]

I think that's impossible. The Timeline clip must be referencing a different clip than what's in the Source Monitor or you've made Subclips and removed the master clip from the Project. Right-click on the clip in the Timeline and choose Reveal in Project.

[@VideoRevealed]

It sounds like the Proxies were not created correctly. If they are made correctly, then you'll never see the Proxy material in the Project Bin or Timeline. All files should be R3D. Have a look at this tutorial as a possible fix: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5DHnJaCirqhj6M

@@VideoRevealed Thank you! I understood finally what was happening. Proxy files was replased by original R3D files BUT the extension of the proxy files begins to act as a part of file name.Basically I have original sourse files with mp4 or mov names for some reason, actually they are raw R3D files, which easy to check with file properties but timeline keeps proxy name even when proxies get replaced with original footage (with a same names of course). Maybe my case will be helpfull for others - don't worry if it happens, just check file properties.

PLEASE HELP! cant find the answer anywhere else

[@VideoRevealed]

By "renders" I assume you mean rendered previews? You can't count on previews handing around all the time so just re-render. But you don't have to render the Timeline, you should be able to play it back in real-time without rendering. For the black video, I'd say the second computer is missing a video codec that the first computer has and you need to install it.

[@BennyEdits494]

It's impossible for me to know which codec is missing from your system. Codecs can get installed with many different programs and you may have installed something on one computer but not the other.

How do you do this without forcing the Link Media box? Mine wont show

If Link Media is not available, then the media is already linked. If you want to pick another clip for an already linked clip, choose Replace Media right above it.

When attempting to export, I get unknown error, which i believe ive narrow down to the r3d files in the timeline that have gone offline, when i attempt to relink them, after locating them without a problem, pp says that it is damaged or unsupported file. How can I relink my r3d files? , its super frustrating!

[@VideoRevealed]

+Rob Watt - I've found that this happens when the importer in Premiere Pro is fighting with another importer in the system. Holding Opt + Shift (Mac) Alt + Shift (Win) when launching Premiere Pro, can clean this up. If that fails, have a look for any other video codecs/apps/drivers that may be running that are cause the problem. Even if you didn't install anything recently, sometimes the stuff you have, just begins to cause the problem. If you still can't get it to work, I have a Premiere Pro cleaner script that completely removes all traces of Premiere Pro, then you do a reinstall of Premiere Pro and all is normal. I haven't had to use it for quite some time but if you want to try it contact me here: videorevealed.com/contact.html NOTE: This script removes any effects presets, workspaces, keyboard shortcuts, etc. so backup all that stuff.

[@RobWatt]

+VideoRevealed thanks for the quick response! This isn't the standard relink process, ive been through that a bunch, but this is something very wierd. I've used pp for years now, and Ive never encountered this before. What i've resorted to, is using the media browser within pp, to replace all the r3d files that have gone rogue. It appears that the r3d files that were affected were the ones that were not placed in the timeline. Thanks for the insight! I'll check back in if the error persists

[@VideoRevealed]

Yes that's very odd. The June release of Premiere Pro has a new proxy workflow that is brilliant and it's worth looking into when it's out.

[@RobWatt]

Yes, I should def be using proxies. I'll defintely look into it as soon as it is revealed in June. I found out what was causing the export issue, it was a few corrupt frames in an r3d clip , and i discovered which exact frames because redcine x identifies them, so I was able to do an r3d trim around the corrupt frames and now everything is rendering perfectly fine and should export .

The only reason this may be happening is that the location of the files are changing. Are you on Windows with dynamically assigned drive letters? You can force your media drive to always use the same letter. Other than that, I'm not sure what's happening.

Hello.. quick question. When i try load a project, i get a "locating media" prompt and it sends me to my finder folder to find missing media... my issue is that it no longer show me which file it wants me to locate... it used to say "where is?" and i would simply find the file and cs6 would find all the necessary files... any idea how to fix this? Thanks

[@VideoRevealed]

Have you updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro CC 2018? Has the media moved? What happens when you relink all the media and save and reopen the Project - do you still get a prompt to link media?

[@vancityvideos]

I like using cs6 and could not get used to cc. When I relink my files, save and reopen, it sill sais "loading project" and then says "locating media" and sends me to my finder tab with all my folders and files. It is at this stage where it wants me to locate missing media but fails to ask me which files to locate. In the past, whenever I moved files etc. the same process would take place except it would always prompt me with the file it wanted me to find. I would simply locate the file and everything would be fine. thank you for responding to my issue, it is very frustrating. I contacted the people at Adobe and they were unable to help me.

Check to see if the issue is with the Project or with Premiere Pro: 1. Create a new Project. 2. Import a few clips (different from the ones you've been testing). 3. Save the Project and Quit Premiere Pro. 4. Launch Premiere Pro and open the saved Project you just created. If the links are broken, then I would say there's something wrong with your disk and/or permissions because there's no way that should be happening in any version of Premiere Pro. If the links work in this new Project, then there's something wrong with the other Project(s) and they need to be fixed. You might fix them by Importing them into a another new Project and saving them under a new name.

[@vancityvideos]

ok i will try that. I am thinking if I start a new project it will then recognize where all the files are and will not need to locate media. I guess I am more concerned if the issue at hand happens again in the future, rather than locate the media quickly as I should, I will have to go through creating a new project every time?

[@vancityvideos]

I am almost certain the reason my links are broken is because I have moved files around or changed the names of folders. I am just confused as to why its not prompting me with the the file(s) it wants me to locate so that all my file can be relinked within the project.

Hi, When I try to link media that's in the exact same location it comes up with media mismatch, before it would relink normally, does the have anything to do with rendering. How do I correct this.

[@VideoRevealed]

If you're using the latest version of CC 2017, there is currently a relinking bug that Adobe is working on. You can also clear the cache by holding Opt+Shift (Mac) Alt+Shift (Win) when you boot Premiere Pro.

[@VideoRevealed]

Another possible fix is to create a new project then import in the previous project.

[@lewis1016]

Hello Colin first thank you for your great videos. I am also having problems relinking files from one second to the next and updating did not help. I am so frustrated with Adobe releasing updates with major bugs. I also tried importing to a new project...did not help. I am at a loss. Any other suggestions. Thanks.

[@vaughancapstick9961]

How do you this in PPro CS6?

[@VideoRevealed]

I haven't used CS6 in so long so I can't remember.

[@vaughancapstick9961]

@@VideoRevealed thanks for replying. I managed to use your basic instructions from the video but play a game if hide and seek with my set up. Got there though! 😃

[@shadjoshbolt1169]

its saying something about the audio being deleted and undone if i say yes really confused please help

[@VideoRevealed]

This is probably due to an import codec issue. After you backup all your presets and preferences, quit Premiere Pro then hold the Alt+Shift (Win) Opt+Shift (Mac) as soon as you launch the application. If that doesn't work, make sure you have the needed codec and that might be QuickTime.

[@aminakoroma3044]

How do you back up presets and preferences, It's already blanked out the footage that failed to relink

when i link media back up its saying that the importer reported a generic message when ive found the right files. what do i do please help.

[@VideoRevealed]

If you're using Premiere Pro CC 2017, there is currently a bug that is causing some import issues. One possible work around is to create a new Project and import your old Project using the Media Browser.

[@shadjoshbolt1169]

VideoRevealed All good now much appreciated for the help 😊

[@synthoelectro]

I lost my mxf files, that's my serious issue, but I have the original clips.

[@VideoRevealed]

MXF files are normally card based media. Either convert the clips to something like QuickTime or copy and import the complete folder structure. If you've moved clips form the original structure, you may be able to convert them with Media Encoder or Handbrake.

[@synthoelectro]

@@VideoRevealed thank you, so I guess I could drop them into the timeline, they are mp4.

Can anyone help me understand why Premiere won't relink my Photoshop media, I go through all the stages of relinking, but with my Photoshop media nothing happens. Can anyone assist as to why I can't overcome this. Thank you

[@VideoRevealed]

Sometimes, if you have changed the original PSD (adding a layer for example) Premiere Pro has trouble updating to the latest changes. You might want to try to Right-click and "Make Offline", then try Relinking. If that doesn't work for me then I just Save As, a new PSD in Photoshop and (Right-click) Replace that file in Premiere Pro. That works if you have only a couple PSDs but if you have many, that's a headache. Lastly, you can try to Quit Premiere Pro and move the original PSDs into a new folder so that Premiere Pro will give you an error when loading the Project. If you Relink at that time, picking the first PSD might relink correctly to all the rest.
