Reconnecting Media… A lot of it. Mass linking possible?

[Harry Felbar]

Hi guys!
Very much new in the area of crossing over to premiere from fcp.

I was wondering is there a way of using rendered (preview) files in premiere from a different project (also in premiere)? Same original files are in question that were rendered, but after some skipping to fcp and back, all are unrendered.

using cs5 and fcp7

Hello, guys.

One trick that I found for reconnecting media when you have same names for multiple clips on multiple hard drives.
I am working with a project from 3 hard drives, and each contains many folders with clips that are mainly named 0001,0002,0003, (or 000+ some 1-2 didgit number). Therefore, it’s hard to know, if the clip, say, 0006 is from folder of January 2 or january 3. However, one day you may have shot for a long time, and you get number 0132, or shoot on a different camera and get 3044 file name.
So, I was pushing “skip” until I found this kind of unique file number, and then I was sure I am reconnecting it with the right folder and right hard drive. After I did it 2 times, all of my media was reconnected.

Hope, it’s making sence 🙂
