Here’s my go-to proxy solution. I’ve done some tinkering to my workflow to make this function.

Instead of using Media Encoder for Proxy generation, download a free version of Da Vinci Resolve.

Load all of your media in. Select all your files.

Click File menu > Media Management,

Select TRANSCODE: Here you can batch transcode media.

(Pick a new destination so it won’t amend the filenames of your Proxies.)

Here’s the important part: Under AUDIO:
–Render “SAME AS SOURCE” Channels of Audio

This will generate proxies with your desired codec, but if your channels vary camera to camera, scene to scene, day to day etc, it should reflect those changes.

Hey, all! Thanks for the support. Much thanks. My files are organized very well and mirrored perfectly. In fact, I was so frustrated with what I tried originally that I did not try again, and avoided using the drive all together. Now that I have to use it, I selected a group of clips, relinked one, and all of them relinked. So apparently, this is a non issue (even though this is a slightly clunky method IMO).

Again, I just linked one having selected all of my clips in a folder, and all of them relinked.

Thanks again, and I won’t be giving up on Premiere just yet.

Ah, that is disappointing. Thanks, and I will definitely post up on Adobe boards. (I’ll ask for color-coded markers while I’m at it too.)
