Working with Canon C100 Footage??? Re-linking problem
I edit on a Mac in Premiere CS6, and have recently been working with Canon C100 footage.
I have two machines I work from… my laptop and my desktop.
All my footage is on an external drive.
The problem is, when I open my project in my other computer, Premiere asks me to relink the footage, and asks for the specific clips.
But in the Finder, I cannot see the individual clips… only the “Private” folder that the C100 generates.
When relinking I cannot “show package” contents to t drill down to the individual clips, so am not able to relink… this issue is causing me a lot of problems, and I would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks

Premiere Pro CC has a vastly improved relink feature, and it includes the ability to relink with the Premiere’s Media Browser instead of through the OS file dialogs.
I ran across a tip a while back that when you rename the folders in an AVCHD folder structure, OS X no longer treats it as a package and shows it instead as simple folders. AVCHD is case-sensitive and must be uppercase, so simply renaming the folders to lowercase should also work.
Doing that should enable you to browse through the folder structure in the OS file dialog (where you cannot show package contents).
I’ve written a set of Automator workflows to make OS X show AVCHD as folders [link], so you can do this with a couple clicks on whole groups of packages at the same time.
This is all at-your-own-risk — you should always have a backup copy of your camera files in their complete folder structures; never work directly on your only copy.
