Any way to prevent dupes in Project file?

[Randy Warren]

I’m in the same camp. Will definitely do a features request. Here’s hoping Adobe is keen to keep the former FCP’ers happy.

Well, I think it’s important to point out that it’s not just former FCPers… it’s EVERYONE that needs this.

I’m in the same boat here and actually just posted the identical problem on the Cow. I don’t have a solution right now…..I realized it and the next few months are going to be a major problem for me unless I can figure out a workaround for this issue.

Anyone find anything here?

We switched to PP 2 months ago and just now started to realize what a nightmare this will become very soon…
Now that our two projects have become 200mb+, it takes forever to even get the import sequences dialog to open. Sometimes it won’t even open at all.

Is there no way to work around this? Seriously reconsidering going back to FCP unless this gets looked at from Adobe real soon.

Johannes, try posting this at the Adobe Forum. You might get a faster response.

Will do!

Thanks Tom

Any update on this issue?

I’m having the same exact problem.

Thanks!

I have submitted a feature request and they replied immediately saying that this issue has been fixed in the new version coming out this summer. Not sure when it comes out though.

[Robert Headrick]

Did anyone manage to find a workaround until the update happens? I’m dealing with this right now. We have projects with multiple interviews that need to be synced up using PluralEyes, and it creates a new .XML file for each sequence. Basically every time I sync up a new person, the synced sequence it creates references new master clips in the project panel that can’t be deleted, even though they’re duplicates of the original, unsynced clips. I could make my project cleaner and leaner by syncing everything in one massive sequence, but that’s inconvenient and still creates some duplication.

[Randy Warren]

Nope. Still a pain in the ass, unnecessarily inflating Project file sizes across the globe!
Crossing my fingers, holding out hope for June 17… Adobe CC.
Supposedly much improved media management.
