Relinking Media everytime I open a project

Let's hope on a solution soon 😉

I have the same issue on a Mac computer with all files located on an internal hard drive.

According to the search results, it's a prevalent issue that affects individuals with both older and newer builds. Adobe has been unable to provide a solution to this problem for an extended period.

Hi @JanVdB - You mentioned this happened a few days ago.  Did you recently update your PC?  The operating system's exFAT driver implementation can affect performance, I wonder if this is what is happening.

Hi,

any news? I'm still having the same issue.

Hi @JanVdB - Can you check one more thing for me.  In Preferences > Media do you have "Growing Files" checked?  If so can you uncheck it and let us know if that helps.

Hi @JanVdB - Thanks for the test results.  You mentioned this happened a few days ago.  Did you recently update your PC?  The operating system's exFAT driver implementation can affect performance, I wonder if this is what is happening.

Hi Jamie,

I did a few tests.

On different drives, I created the same folder structure, I copied the same video files on, every disk, I created a Premiere Project file on every disk, all differente projects but with the same content. Using the same .Mov Prores444 files, all around 3 to 6GB sized, HD1920x1080 

Here are my results:

Hope you can figure it out?

For now it seems Premiere is not liking exFat formatting anymore, but why is that? Few days ago: there wasn't a problem at all.

Should I try to downgrade to Pr 2024 to check?

Hi @JanVdB - Thanks for confirming the format.   

Was your media in the same folder structure as the SSD in the virtual environment?

It would be helpful if you have another external driver that is formatted as FAT32 to test.

Hi @JanVdB -  Is your virtual “internal” disk formatted differently from your external SSD?

Yes, that is correct, thanks
