How to stop Premier from auto relinking media to old location?

Question

I'm editing a video with a lot clips that were originally linked to files on a shared workspace (LucidLink). I now have all the clips on a local drive and want to relink the clips to the local versions. However, when I offline all the clips and choose to relink them I am only able to relink the first clip, then ALL the rest relink to their original location on LucidLink.

I don't want to have to relink hundreds of clips, one by one, so how do I tell Premiere to ignore where the clips were originally linked to? After relinking the first clip to it's local file, I want Premiere to search for the rest of the clips in the same local folder that I relinked the first clip to. How do I do this?

Offlineing the clips, then closing the project and clearing the cache was enough. Didn't need to import the project into a new one. Thanks!

Try making all the clips offline.

Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files:

Create a new project and import the old one into it.

Then try relinking the clips in the new project.
