Premiere Pro conform xml issues with merged clips

Premiere Pro  conform xml issues.

So I just locked picture on a feature and  back when we started building the project to sync up the separate audio clips with video I merged them. now the colorist is not able to link the files from the xml  because all the clips have the word “merged added to the name. ( using  Resolve for grading)

Hard lesson learned.

Is there any way these can be re-linked? Or am I stuck renaming all the clips in a 2 hour long edit?

    They make it very clear Merged Clips do not make it through any connected process.

     

    Their Longform and Productions Guides for professional workflows are explicit about the limitations of Merged Clips.

     

    While you get sympathy for what you have to do now, this is a very well documented issue to avoid.

     

    Merge Clips is just a quickie timeline thing.

     

    Sorry, but as I know from experience, learning is at times painful.

     

    I do recommend reading those documents. They are excellent for any professional use of Premiere.

    I have the exact same problem. Adobe seriously - I can't take too much more of this.
