Question

Consolidating files not completely working

Not quite sure how this hasn't been fixed yet - or am I missing something - but when you consolidate clips in a sequence (with the Project Manager), the first clips of each video will be offline every time.

So, I have a video that is called "video.mov". I edit several bits of it into a sequence. I consolidate that sequence. Now I have several new clips just from those edits.

The first one is called "video.mov", the second "video_001.mov" and so on. Every clip from 001 on is online as it should be (the consolidated material), the first one, only called "video.mov" now searches (after deleting original files) for the original mov - but it should have linked to the consolidated one.

    Thanks, there is no option that would reflect that issue, but here is a screenshot.

    Wouldn't happen with "Rename Media Files" checked, but shouldn't happen in any case.

    I'm trying to replicate the issue.
    However, would you consider "Collect files and copy to new location" Instead?
    Can you let me know what exactly you want to achieve? Maybe we can find a better workflow for it.
