Premiere Pro CC ‘Reveal file in Project’ unavailable/missing on certain clips
Can anyone help me figure out why a particular set of r3d clips on a timeline have lost the function to be revealed in the project? The media files are online and play fine. I can filter my project to find the clip and the link exists between the project version and the timeline version, I simply can’t use the command to reach the clip in the project from the timeline. Also missing are ‘Reveal in Finder’ and ‘Edit Origional’.
“Source Settings…” is also not working on the same clips. The command is available in the contextual menu but fails to bring up the r3d source settings. Other r3d clips on the same timeline have all functions working correctly. We’ve already cleaned the media cache.
Mac 10.9.3
32gigs ram
SAS RAID 6 – +800MB/s
Premiere CC 7.2.2Any help would be greatly appreciated. It’s a very large project and we need to color correct so searching for each used clip in the project window will take way too long.
Thanks!

Did you import the clips through the media browser or via import in project bin?
Have you tried reimporting the problem clips through media browser, clicking on them in your sequence, then clicking replace from bin to see if you can then activate the menus?

Okay, I figured it out. Yes, I imported through media browser. The problem was that this particular interview was linked to second system sound files. Once the video and audio from separate sources are linked on the timeline the source file based commands are unavailable. The solution is to option click the desired A or V clip and choose the command or manually unlink and relink.
If anyone form Adobe is following this here’s a minor feature request; Perhaps a better way to handle the above scenario would be to let the user choose the command and give an error that says why it’s invalid “Cannot reveal clips from separate sources linked on the timeline”. Or even better, a short dialog that let’s them pick which source file to reveal, edit, source settings, etc.
I’ll leave this up in case someone else makes the same mistakes. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for following up Jake. Glad you got it sorted out. Be sure to file your feature/bug report on the Adobe site so the engineers know about your problem.
