Importing and relinking videofiles is going very slow (Sony a6700 files)

Report · Aug 19, 2023

Since a few days my Premiere Pro is working very very slow. I'm trying to import soms MP4-files from my new Sony A6700 camera. Worked before, even the 4K 100f files. Now it's almoast undoable. It takes a lot time. After restarting the program, it also takes a lot of time to relink / load the video files.

I already used the cleaner tool and i removed all other video editing software. Im using a Apple M1 MBPro, 16 gb RAM. Which always worked fine!

Does anyone have a idea?

@Matthijs31399023w73x I have not seen this issue before. Would you be able to share a project and some A6700 files that we can use to duplicate this problem?

Thanks!

I tried several projects. Also inserted other video files.

But still Adobe Premiere Pro is relinking all media files every time i restart the program / project.

Have the same problem. Every opening the projects following by Relenking and Waiting Media on monitors. My videos are on the ssd (samsung t9 4tb), very fast in working and rendering, I don't clear cache, but every time I open Pr I must wait 20-30sec for Relinking
