  • Premiere CS6 won’t import video from external drive, but will import from internal

    Hey folks,

    So I have a project that is composed of 50mbps Panasonic GH3 30p video, and I store all that video on an external hard drive. However, today, Premiere decided it isn’t going to import the clips I shot this morning (in the same format as the rest of the videos on the project) when it is on my external drive!

    If I copy the files to my internal drive and import from there, or import the files into Premiere directly from my SD card, the video and audio imports just fine. However, if I import like I usually do from my external drive, suddenly those files only import as audio!

    if I import previously captured files that are in the same format, they come into the project correctly.

    If I try to import the files into Premiere from my internal drive, then delete them off the internal drive (forcing Premiere to re-link the footage, which I point to the external drive) Premiere gives me an error stating that the audio and video do not match the original source.

    This is an extremely frustrating bug! Does anyone have any sort of solution? I want to keep my media all in the same place (off my internal drive) and this bug, unless it can be remedied, will force me to store my media on the internal drive.
