  • Empty but not empty folders importing into Production

    OK, gang, here’s the skinny: this project is a long form doc and for various reasons I’m not going to get into here, it needed to be upgraded from one huge Premiere project to Productions. It involved a lot of reorganizing of footage into MEDIA ONLY projects and SEQUENCE ONLY projects. At first there were a lot of duplicate clips, but as they were discovered we brought them into the MEDIA ONLY projects and consolidated them. So far so good.

    Now, sometimes when importing sequence from project to another within the Production, the sequence brings what appears to be an empty media folder with it. If I try to delete it I get a warning saying that it contains media attached to a sequence.

    Normally, I would bring that folder into the appropriate MEDIA ONLY project and consolidate the clips, but since I can’t see what the media is, I can’t consolidate it into the correct bin.

    So, I have to figure out how to reveal these “invisible” clips so I know where to drag them in, to then consolidate the dupes. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Since a lot of posts here are about Adobe PrPro software, please
    identify in your post which version of the software you are using, eg
    2019, 2021, 2022, and it would help to detail your hardware too.
