Relinking your media in Adobe Premiere Pro

Premiere Pro will relink your media and automatically find all the other clips you maybe missing as long as they are in the same relative path.

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. But I wanted to thank you for this tutorial and many others that have been helping me resolve this "tiny" problems! Greetings from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.

LIFE SAVER! Almost had a heart attack when I saw I had hundreds of files I thought I needed to link one by one lol. Thank you!!

I like that you explained every radio check box button in the relinking dialog box. That was very helpful

Thank you so much man. That "preserve interpret footage settings" box saved my life!

This was great! You ended the stress I was having over all this on my Documentary. Thanks!

I'm so new to premiere pro and this problem came up and I did not know what it even meant, let alone how to fix it. Thank you. Your video was concise and easy for me to follow. I'm very grateful for it.

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.

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

I've been looking for this for so long, thanks man

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

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😔

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.

[JamezJN]

thanks Jesus, the tip for the drive was just what I needed, find the first one changing the drive and everything will be OK, thanks

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?

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.

Hi man! I'm trying to import an EDL project into Premiere Pro CC 2018, and the EDL doesn't find the source medias. When I try relinking it, the start time of the medias are modified, even with 'preserve interpret footage settings' on... Do you have an idea of what I should do?

[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?

[RIanCold]

Colin help!! :( My daughter edited a video of mine and, before she exported, her external hard disc crashed and she hasn't been able to recover the audio and video source files. I have them but I changed their names ....( I promise that I'll change them BEFORE editing from now on !! ) Can I get premiere to substitute the original files with the ones with the changed names?
