Using an old sequence with new clips
Hi everyone,
I am in a it of a weird situation. Years ago, I filmed and edited some silly stuff with my friends, using Premiere Pro 1.5 and a Digital 8 camera. I would really like to edit that project again, and I have since lost the footage from my computer, but kept the Premiere project which I have managed to find again. Since I have to recapture the footage from the tapes onto my computer, I was wondering if there was some smart way of putting the recaptured footage into the project in the correct places.
I tried using “Link Media”, which seemed to work somewhat, but since I think the length of the avi file is longer or something, the whole thing is off cue.
Is there some easy way to align the footage so it matches correctly again?
Kind Regards,

Hi Gustav,
Did you just recapture the footage or did you ask premiere to batch capture the footage? If you recapture them using batch capture your timecode would reconnect everything back in its edited positions. If the timecode has been broken, then you are facing an uphill battle. The Tape name for each tape you captured needs to be correct too. You can name that info with the clips still offline and then batch capture. Linking indicates you captured it seperately and then tried to reconnect it. That’s going to take a long time. Try batch capturing the clip/s. Good Luck.
