Question

can you PLEASE fix the link media mess?

Same problem across several versions.  EVERY time I open a project with assets on a cloud drive, including LucidLink, requires manually relinking, and the locate/search function will NEVER search in the folder I have selected. It will literally search every folder on every drive on my machine. 

 

Just fix it.

Also experiencing this issue still. Just trying to reconnect footage on a external drive, but Premiere insists on searching through the entirety of Macintosh HD before considering looking at the external drive.

What happened??? why cant i just search the elected drive anymore??

It's not *every* time, but it's often, and I haven't been able to reliably replicate it.  I've seen people mention it in other forums and say the same thing about working from external drives. Beyond that I have no idea

Hi @Sterphy -   Thanks for submitting your bug report. We need a few more details to try to help with the issue.
Please see, How to Report a Problem.

 

Can you let us know how you originally imported the media files?

 

Are you using media browser or the finder to relink?

 

Can you post a screenshot of your link media dialog box?


Sorry for the frustration.

That would be incredibly infuriating! Just ... wow.

 

I cannot replicate this on either my PC desktop or atop, with LucidLink based projects and media.

 

What the Hades is causing this? I hope someone pops in with useful information.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
