offline clip

[Richard Herd]

Bad news: I don’t think you can. 🙁

That’s why they have the Project Manager setting.

I’ve checked through the prproj file by right clicking and opening with TextEdit (mac) Notepad (win), and I could not see it; however, I did not spend that much time on it. You may have better luck.

I would also post in one of the debate forums and hope Kevin or Dennis chime in, maybe even call them by name.

Good luck!

Thanks Richard for the reply,

To be clear this is what happened. File in cpu called (MVI001). I transfered the file into cs6 and renamed it there example (SCENE 1 TAKE 1)

I have transferd all my files onto an external hard drive. Now cs6 is looking for it but it’s looking for (scene 1 take 1 ) When it’s in fact called (MVI001)

Many tutorial talk about offline file but never in the case you change you footage location and name. They do say that premiere keeps the original designation but the question is where????

Thanks again

Hmm,..in CC 2014, if you right click in project windows and choose link media, they give you the real Clip name compare to the rename clip.

I test this for you by using single audio clip, the clip on drive is “distorto long.wav”, and the rename clip is “replace”. I moved the clip on the drive, and premiere gave me this :

As you can see, the original clip name information before renaming is still exist.

Thanks for the help,

It does not do the same on my cpu. I have cs6 not cc 2014. When I click on link media it opens a dialogue box asking me to find the missing footage without giving me the original file path.

It should be so simple!

If you opened the project files directly in Text viewer like NotePad++, maybe you can track down the original path/name.
