Question

Premiere Production Sequence loses clip project association

Adobe Premiere 24.1, MacOS 13.5

 

I have a Premiere Production where a sequence loses the clip project association when a duplicate is made and then transferred to a different project within the production.  On the source sequence, when you right click and reveal the clip in the project everything works correctly, if I duplicate the sequence and then leave it alongside the original sequence everything still works correctly, if I move the duplicate project into another project it will say, "The source media has been deleted or moved from it's project.  Do you want to search in other open projects?"  Is there a proper way to move sequences from project to project without this error happening.  To re-associate clips every single time this happens is simply not practical as this is a very large project.

 

Thanks in advance!

hi @ericj77410701 - Any chance we could get a copy of the project where the original sequence lives (Project A), and a copy of the project that you are moving the duplicate sequence to (Project B)?  If you can save Project B with the duplicate sequence in it, rather than moved back to Project A, even better.  No media is necessary, just the .prproj files.

 

I have a hunch what's going on, but would love to confirm before I ask you to modify anything on your end.

 

If you need a place to send/upload these projects, just let me know.

Is there a solution to this issue?

No; as above, we've never been able to reproduce the issue.

Hello Eric,

Can you provide step-by-step instructions, that reliably generate the behavior you've described?

The steps outlined in my post are the ones that reliably created the issue outlined.

  1. Duplicate sequence
  2. Duplicated sequence keeps clip association in the project alongside original
  3. Move duplicated sequence into a different project in the production
  4. Duplicated sequence no longer keeps the clip association in the new project

Those are much clearer than the original post, thanks. 

In my testing, 4 doesn't happen. 

Confirming: The media in the same project as the original sequence, right?

Not sure why that's happening ... but maybe @mattchristensen could help with this ...

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
