Question

Premier pro can’t find files that I know are there

I have a big project with all 100 files missing, so I'm in the process of relocating them. Some of them are found, but some of them aren't, and it seems to be at random. The thing is, I manually searched for one of the un-found files and found it myself. Why didn't premier pro's location system recognize it? How can I fix this? I'm sorry but I can't manually like 80 something files.

With me there have been times where if you search a second time the search option will find what you need. Not ideal but it works.

I've done it several times and it kind of just does it in tiny clusters of 1 to 10 each time

Try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Then try to relink.

Yes.

How do you import a project into Premiere Pro?
 
Select File > Import, and browse to the project file containing the desired sequence or sequences, and select them. Click Open. In the Import Project dialog box, choose whether to import the entire project or selected sequences, and click OK
