Consolidate duplicates does not work

[shakespit]

I have big project with some dupes in it. So when I try to use "Edit > Consolidate Duplicates" it does nothing.

So I ended up cleaning all project to three clips that are linked to exact same raw footage, no proxies attached and I nothing else in project panel, just those three clips:

Still "Consolidate Duplicates" does nothing. Maybe I should look for some other places where Premiere thinks that those are different clips? Any ideas?

Brillinat.  In the world of "work around" solutons for Premiere, that's a fix that's like traversing the globe --but as long as it works!

So it seems like if even one simple quantum of meta data is different between a media clips Premiere refuses to see it as the "same" and won't consolidate.  You process is basically nuking the meta data and giving Premiere a fresh look at the files.

Good job.
