File will not Link

Question

I rendered my project ready to export and when it was exported it had a black and green square in the clip for one of the camera angles. I then went back in to try and remedy the problem. Now the file will not relink. I have placed the file in a new folder. I tried to delete the rendered files, however as I had reopned and closed the project this was not possible. I have opened pre-saved versions to see if an non corrupt version exists but in every version the file will not link. Any advice is welcomed. My Premiere Pro is running the lastest version.

iphone footage is variable frame rate (vfr) which Premiere has had intermittent and unpredictable problems with. Here's how to diagnose and fix the issue

use mediainfo to determine whether your source is variable or constant frame rate

if it's variable use handbrake to convert to constant frame rate setting the quality slider in the video panel to maximum

and here's a tutorial on how to use handbrake

Once you've converted the footage, you should be able to make it offline and relink to the constant frame rate footage.
