Got a weird bug going on. Noticed a clip on my timeline with diagnal stripes through it. Poked at it and it seemed like some kind of indiactor for a linking issue? Did Reveal In Finder only to see that somehow, Premiere had dropped the link to the correct source file, and relinked to a different file on the drive with the same file name. Def seems like a bug.
In trying to resolve it, I went into the project panel, found, file, and selected Make Offline. Got the Media Options popup. Selected Media Files Remain on Disk. Clicked OK.
Then I got another popup, warning me "Are you sure you want to delete the media files from the disk". Def a bug. I cancelled out of it.
I tried the whole process a few more times, with the same exact steps. On about the 3rd or 4th try, it acted normally, and I was able to relink the correct file.
Can someone please advise on this? I suspect I've got other auto-relinked files on the timeline im gonna have to find and deal with, so would appreciate it if an employee could chime in with some troubleshooting steps.
