Proxies - no automatic relink i 2022-update.

[JonasFedderWitt]

Hey everyone

When i try to use the "Relink others automatically"-function with "Media Start" under "Attach proxies" it's doesn't seem to work.

So i'm stucked with relinking every clip individually...

Worked fine with the 2021-version.

Anyone else have the same problem or have the solution for it?

In case the 'Correct Answer' doesn't make it obvious enough, the proxy file's filenames must match those of the original in order for Premiere to automatically link them. You can batch rename your proxy files by using Finder in Mac, and Find and Replace to remove any extraneous characters.

Hello guys. Any oficial solution from Adobe about this?

Thank you!

I had the same problem with the latest update and my C200 footage.  Based on Robbie W's reply, the workaround I used for Windows really wasn't bad. The camera adds "_P" to the filename, so I batch renamed the remove it.  The process I used: go to the DOS prompt (type CMD in the search bar). Navigate to your directory of proxies using your basic DOS commands. Then simply type the rename command "ren *.* ???????????????????????.*" where the number of question marks equals the amount of filename characters you want to keep (eg 2 fewer than you have).  Hope this saves someone a headache.

Just got the Canon R5c and had this same issue! I have discovered that with only "Media Start" checked they will Re-Link. I think Premiere uses the timecode information to relink with this method vs. the clip name.  Althought make sure your raw footage and proxies have the same number of audio channels

It worked for me too with just 'Media Start" checked. Thank you!

Seem worked for me. Go to Sistem Pref. > Security & Privacy > Files and Folder and Full Disk Acess - give to PP all permissions on files and folders.

Cheers to all
