"Relink other automatically" doesn't work. Using PR2025 version

Community Beginner ,
Oct 19, 2024 Oct 19, 2024

I have all the project files and the footages stored in an external hard disk. Created the project and start edit on MacOS. But when connect the same external hard disk to another computer (Windows OS), I have to re-link the clips one by one. It used to be able to relink all the footages automatically. I am sure that I have ticked the "Relink others automatically".

I have tried to make all videos offline and relink them back once I have opened the project file, but unfortunately, i still have to relink the footages one by one. Is there any solution to this? I have like hundreds of footages to relink, i don't want to spend so much time to do it manually.

Hi!

@cizkek_ 

I actually found the workaround, but I do hope that Adobe can really fix this bug. But for now, the workaround is to disable the 'File Extension' on the bottom left when you try to link the medias.

 

@Kevin-Monahan , FYI, the same issue persists in Adobe Premiere Pro Beta version too. I used the same workaround as above and it solved the issue. However I hope that the bug can really be fixed because to enable the file extension is pretty important to me

Hi, @nana36722464ffx2 and @cizkek_,

Thanks for providing the details. Can you have more information about your system and media? See, How do I write a bug report?

 

Were these projects OK before updating Premiere Pro?

Sharing projects across Windows and Mac shouldn't ever be an issue. However, as an editor, I would always strive to finish cross-platform projects before migrating to major new versions, like this one.

 

If you have time, you might try seeing if the operation is reliable across new

I have the same problem, (but WITHOUT switching OS between Windows and Mac).
Suddenly i have to re-link every single file in my PP-Projects on my external SSDs manually - an extreme time waster!

All my files have the .MP4 extension, but PP is looking for a .mp4 file. (Screenshot)

 

As recommended - unchecking the extension checkbox helped (thx for the work around) but of course feels

horrible and could be extremely risky, (or not helpful) if there are files with the same name but different formats. Which easily can happen if you use JPGs and MP4s for example… Please FIX THIS!

Mac OS 13.7.6

PP 25.1.0

Exactly! Unfortunately, Adobe doesn't seem to understand our concern (about the same name but different formats), which i have addressed since the beginning. 

However, I noticed that sometimes it works (checking the extension checkbox) but sometimes it doesn't. I am using the latest version of the premiere pro right now.

I have adobe doesn't come and tell us to rename the file names as solution 😕
