Raid drive won’t work in link media browser

[Kevin Monahan]

Hi,
I talked to OWC about this issue. They said that if you Get Info on the drive (on Mac, CMD + I), then delete the image for the drive, it will be seen by Media Browser once more.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi, what do you mean by “delete the image”?

***WORKAROUND / PSEUDO-SOLUTION***
Hi there –
I read all of the “solutions” and none worked for me.
Problem: When re-linking, Premiere (CC2020) would show my OWC Raid but can’t double click into RAID folders or see any files on the RAID.

Deleting Disk icon did not help

making alias on my HD did not work

trashing preferences didn’t work

SO:
Instead of re-linking I tried “REPLACE FOOTAGE” from the “clip” menu.
During Replace, Premiere can see the RAID no problem. The only bummer is I must manually relink each file one at a time – but still, so much better than transferring nearly 1 TB of data to a new hard disk. I created a keyboard shortcut for “Replace Footage” – so 2 clicks per file wasn’t the end of the worl – let me know if this helped you: jim-at-asymmetricpix com

**TRUE SOLUTION***
This supersedes my previous post – just found a true soution (at least for Premiere CC2020)

Just switch off ‘Use Media Finder’ on the locate dialogue, Premiere then uses explorer and you can find your network drives in the normal way.

Amazing!
