Hello,

 

I have big issue with relinking media file.

When I move media to another disk (for example - from external HDD to internal disk),

Premiere want to relink media one by one. When I have cca 1000 files in project, that's crazy.

 

Can you help me, please?!!!

Hi @martin_8319 - Have you tried unchecking the box File extension?

@martin_8319,

 

I think Ann has the right answer. You have the "relink others automatically" box checked, but you have to find and select the first file to relink.

 

I usually keep "find exact match" so it shows me the first file without lots of other files on screen. Select that one, and it should relink all the others automatically.

Hi @martin_8319 -  Thanks for submitting your bug report. We need a few more details to try to help with the issue.
Please see, How do I write a bug report?

 

When relinking the next media clip, click the Locate button, navigate to the folder containing your media, and click the Search button.

Let us know if that helps your issue.

Sorry for the frustration.
