Footage that is right clicked/replaced keeps linking back to the old files when my colleges load up the project. Even though the new files and old files have different names too.

So for example, if there is a preview stock clip named "StockX-preview" in a PP sequence and I right click/replace footage with the purchased high res version "StockX" it will change out the footage on my computer and everything works as expected. Though when any of my teammates open the updated project, the project will link back to the old "StockX-preview" files instead of the correct "Stock X" files. Also something to note, for some reason it will still show the old names when they are trying to linking broken media instead of the correct high res videos.

This also happens when switch out a dynamic linked AE project by offlining and relinking to the an update AE project. So going from "AEProject01" to "AEProject02" works fine on my end though when they open the project it links back to "AEProject01" and doesn't even show the "AEProject02" when relinking broken media.

This is happening when going back and forth between PC and Mac.

I can set a thumbnail for my videos in whichever Bin the asset resides, after a shoot it would be great to be able to print a contact sheet of assets so that the client knows what's all there. Yes I "could" do a screen capture or some other work-around... but contact sheets are standard needs and it make sense to be able to hover over the clip, select the inpoint and use that as the thumbnail. Then allow me just like in Bridge to control the layout and make thumbnails.

*Note You can sort of do this in bridge, but can't change the thumbnail and often times the camera is rolling before the final framing of a shot.

When Reassociating a selected sequence in a project within a Production, currently you have to open one [media] project at a time and for all sequences in each [editing/sequence] project.

What would be nice is if we could open a project full of sequences, select them all and then 'Reassociate Master Clips with All Open Projects". That way we could have open already our media projects (which we can open all at once) and then do a big 'reassociate' all in one go. (open to even more simplified suggestions like 'Reassociate with all projects in the Production' or a function like this at Production panel level - e.g. highlight a bunch of projects and choose 'Reassociate projects with all other projects'

-Additional info:
I'm working on a large documentary with footage shot over several years. The project got too big to handle and there are now two people working on it simultaneously so we broke down the project into a production Sith 7 Media projects and several Editorial projects containing sequences of compilations, assemblies and various iterations of the master edit. Breaking down the original project into smaller parts causes ALL the sequences to lose their associations with media because they think they are still in the original oversized project. If you 'reveal in project' any clip in any of the sequences, it asks for the original project. So you Reassociate Master Clips, in our case, 7 times for each project containing sequences! - you can see why this would be handy to be simplified for anyone making a documentary that grows larger than initially expected - good doco's always do!

Thanks for your consideration.

At my work we export a fair amount of XMLs. When I receive a Premiere file from a coworker and open it on a different computer, it gives me the missing media popup every time I open the project, even if all the other media is online.

The "offline media" is FCP Translation Result .txt files, and the file path is always "/Users/(username)/Documents". There's no "Clip Name" displayed, since they're not stored in the project panel, or anywhere user-facing. This happens anytime the Premiere is unable to locate these .txt files.

It's not a big deal to just Offline All and move on with your day, but it is an annoying and unnecessary step.

Would it be possible to have these missing Translation Results not appear in the Missing Media popup window, or perhaps just have them not linked at all in the Premiere Pro project after exporting the XML?

Media management relinking seems to require that every video file have a distinct name, even when those files are in different directory structures. For instance, many cameras shoot their video files with generic names (C001, C002, C003, etc.). When shooting with the same camera on different cards over multiple shoots, we will often have footage dumps separated in different folders for each day but with the same filenames in the respective folders (e.g. Day1/C001.mov, Day2/C001.mov, etc.). This seems to confuse the Media Management relinking functionality in Team Projects, causing some footage to be ignored (e.g. when all instances of C001.mov only use the Day1 clip and ignore the Day2 version).

What the **** is going on? Since I got this paid license, there's nothing but trouble. I AM the owner of the TEAM Project. I made the last changes yesterday evening. Now, I got an automatic Premiere Pro update (both the beta -15.4 buld 19 and the regular app) 15.2 build 35 -) and now It says it is an "Unsupported Project Version", claiming that the project was edited in a newer version.... That's insane! Yesterday there was the beta build 18, and now, with the newer version, premiere pro says this nonsense. I REALLY need to get my project back on the tracks.

Hello All,

We experience big issues between Mac and PC. Mostly with big projects (keep in mind we are on big network storages). When we try to open a Mac project on a PC, most of the time we get network timeouts, we get into an infinitive loop. And can take hours before the locate window appears . SO If adobe could make that timeout way faster would be a good step or There should be a Mac to Windows path statement that can be entered somewhere in Premiere or After Effects. For example a Mac created a project with media located @ /Volumes/mysandrive/myrootfolder/myprojectfolder/mymediafolder. That path won't exist in a Windows environment.It would look like this: G:\mysandrive\myrootfolder\myprojectfolder\mymediafolder.
All of the suggestions listed above may work if you have production machines connected to the internet. Volume of work, security of your content and un-aired content may make those suggestions non starters.
Furthermore, Adobe building in Mac Windows shared inter-operability ensures editors aren't spending time re-linking instead of editing.

Mac OS 10.15.7, Premiere 2021 (15.2.0 Build 35)

FIX PROJECT MANAGER.

I've been doing a little looking around, wasting valuable billing time trying to make sense of why the Project Manager is such a piece of shite.

So here's what I discovered yesterday...

I attempted to Collect and Copy a problemetic project, which has failed before. And it failed again, but not before I got a glimpse of the stupid way you've coded this routine.

What I did was watch the Finder during the progress of the Project as it was collected and copied to the new location. Premiere began the process by writing the copied files to the location I specified...until it stopped, with the dreaded warning "An unknown error occurred"...yeah, ********.

What I DIDN'T do was click OK at that point, and supposedly Save the project... which also BLOWS AWAY ALL THE "COPIED" FILES!

I left the box open, and copied what was in the partially-collected project over to another drive. SO NOW, I have a record of what might have caused the the routine to hiccup. It seems to get hung up on files with long long long paths, such as found in these infernal multi-part MXF, and other files that bury the actual media under a ton of folders.

So, geniuses at Adobe, you may want to start there and see if there's some limitation in terms of qualified file names when running the PM.
