Hey Guys,
So basically I have a project that was edited and a bunch of the "clip names" are identical and when the original editor imported the files PP automatically created separate filenames for those clips to tell them apart from each other. Now someone sent me the project and i have all of the original media with the same repeat clip names but they are in separate folders so i know which ones are which but when i try to relink them it overwrites the auto generated File name with the clip name so PP cant distinguish which ones are which in my project after i manually relinked them all once. (See attached video for further explanation: https://youtu.be/TZkkykEzCYs
So what i need to do is relink them but without it overwriting the autogenerated filename so that way it knows the difference between the 3 clips with the same name, just like it did when the original editor imported the clips for the first time.
Only other solution i can think of would be to go through and rename all of the original media so that all the clip names are different and then manually relink to those new clip names but its hundreds of files so I am hoping one of you more enlightened users can help me.
Thanks in advanced for any help you may be able to provide!

If I understood your YT video correctly, all of the video clips are in folders that are unique and which let you know which clip is which, even if it has the same file name?
I would:
It's not elegant, but it should let you distinguish between CLIP001 in Folder A and CLIP001 in Folder B.
