Huge Problem With Finding Media For Entire Project!
Ok, basically i have near enough a feature length movie built up in Premiere, but its on a laptop and therefore it would not stand a chance of exporting without overheating. So what i did was transfered all material over to my Desktop which also has premiere.
But when i try to open the project it makes me FIND every clip of footage , so iwent ahead FINDING each clip one by one, but now it is saying the clips dont match the original , which is rubbish… on most of them and all my project just says media offline . I didnt obviously save it like that but i cant open and use the project!!!,
please some genius help me!!

How did you do the transfer? Did you use the Project Manager?

Hi Luke,
As Todd said, Project manager is the best way to transfer projects.
The problem is that the files were likely transfered to a drive with a different letter. If your laptop had a single drive (c), you would have to put the project on the C drive in the other machine, and in the same folder relative to the root of the drive.

Thanks todd and vince
it seemed to work until i tried to open the project on my computer , it loads the project up until right at the end of the bar and then goes no further , any ideas guys!?
im desperate to get this working, By the way my laptop runs CS5 while my com is CS4 , any difference ?
-
That could a completely different issue. Have you tried importing the project into a new CS5 project?
If you haven’t used project manager for the transfer, now would be a good time…

I’m having just the same problem. I had to move everything to a PC to edit, due to location. Now I’m back on a school mac, and it wants me to reconnect every clip, individually.
We shot on the RED and it puts every clip into it’s own individual folder, sub folder, etc. I’m looking at spending a day and a night laboriously telling it where each and every clip is.
Isn’t there some way to reconnect media in bulk? Fast?

OK, For myself, I just figured it out, and I don’t know if it will help the OP but it might help the next guy with my problem.
First, I selected all the clips I needed to relink, which was all of them. Then I would tell it to relink, it would give me a file name and ask me to find it, and I did, and it managed to use that to relink a large number of other clips. Then it would ask me again, and I would repeat the process.
The good thing is that for the 6 directories and approximately 500 or so sub directories, it only asked me about six times, as once it found the first, it figured out the path to the others.
I’m a beginner at Premiere, so I didn’t know it would do that, thought I would have to find 500 paths, and panicked. I posted on this thread instead of in the beginner section since it was related when I did my search on the problem.
