Opening Premiere proj in Premiere Pro requires manually relinking files & this won’t work
Hi,
I have a Premire project that was done on a Matrox RT2000 that I am now trying to reedit in Premiere Pro 1.5 or CS3. The projects open ok, but I can’t relink to the original source files when PP asks for it. Appearently, the old Premiere treated the files with separate avi and wav files as one (or visa versa). So I get an error message stating that I can’t relink to the files because the selected file (video) is not the same as the file that I am trying to link (audio & video).
Any suggestions of how to get around this. I am linking to the original source files. Only PremierePro doesn’t seem to interpret the files in the same way. I have tried putting the wav files in the same folder as the avi and it doesn’t work. I’ve tried putting the two types of files in their own folders. No luck.
This pretty much prevents me from being able to edit the old project. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There might be a way to use AE to import the RT2000 project then export the AE project as a Premiere Pro project, then open that version in CS3. I think it will then recognise the audio is a separate part to the video…

Thanks for the suggestion, Jon, I will give it a try.
As for your question of the number of editors that it takes to change a light bulb, the answer is none. It’s the job of the graphics department to paint out the bulb.
Several reviews later, management will put the bulb shot in the “Could be better” cue where the shot with the bulb will be repainted repeatedly, until time runs out. In the meantime, a postition will have been created to track and oversee production on the changed bulb.
Years later, all talent will have moved on, but the “bulb evaluation and specification committee” will now be in charge of the company. Careers will have been made because of changing the bulb, and coffee table books about the “Art of changing the bulb” will have been published and commented upon. Philosophers will comment about the deeper meaning of repainting the bulb, and how the bulb refers to ancient architypes.
Later still, the company will redo changing the bulb because they can do it better now with current technology than they could back then.
Then oil runs out, there is no electricty or bulbs and mankind ends up huddled around fires, telling tales about the time of bulbs.

I am not sure but this might have something to do with the matrox codec the Matrox 2000 usses

Hi Ann,
Yes, I am pretty sure that the Matrox codecs have something to do with it, even though I am trying to open the old Matrox files on a new Matrox system. However, Matrox is mum about this topic.

Did you ever solve this problem? I have exactly the same issue too.
