Opening project on another computer in Premier 2017

Question

I am working in Adobe Premier CC 2017. I have saved my project onto a hard drive and all of my rushes are also on this hard drive. When I try to open the project on a different computer I have to relink all of the footage even though the path hasn't changed (because the rushes have always been on the hard drive). Does anyone know why this is?

On your external hard drive, create a template folder that contains subfolders similar to the following:

Camera Originals
Media - for video and/or audio that didn't original from a camera
Projects - for your Premiere Pro project files
Exports

Whenever you start a project, make a duplicate of this folder and change the name to correspond to the current project. Then, keep any and every last file for the project in the corresponding folder. Regardless of where you open your .prproj, your source footage should always link.

This assumes that you're working from an external drive with high enough bandwidth and capacity for your projects. The folder names are just suggestions. The main point is to have an organized workspace that you always adhere to prior to importing clips into a PR project file.
