If you don't see this window, simply right click on a clip that is unlinked and choose 'Link Media'.įor this scenario, you can leave all the default settings at the bottom as is. When you first open your project, you'll see this 'link media' window pop open, letting you know exactly which files are missing. Let's walk through step by step the most common scenario - you moved a folder or file to a new location. Scenario 1: If you moved a folder or file to a new location. If your hard drive was disconnected, you need to make sure that it is correctly connected before moving on to the next step.
How to Relink Missing Media Filesįirst, think through what may have caused the broken link.ĭid you move a folder or a file to a new location?ĭid you rename any folders or files associated with your project? If ever you move or rename a file, you have to redirect Premiere Pro to the new location of your file or files.
This is why you'll get the missing media link in your project. You changed the blueprint without letting Premiere Pro know. However, if you move the file to a different folder OR if you rename and part of that equation (the hard drive, the folder, or the file itself) then Premiere Pro is going to be confused. This is where Premiere Pro will go to find this file anytime that you open your project. Vacation Videos (External Hard Drive) -> Footage (Folder Name) -> Sunset (File Name) The breakdown might look something like this: Premiere Pro simply creates a blueprint or a map of where that file lives and points back to the source of the file any time you use that file in your project.įor example, let's say you've dragged in a file named 'sunset' from an external hard drive named 'vacation videos' that is located in a folder named 'footage'. When you drag or import footage and other media files into your project panel within Premiere Pro, you need to know that the actual file itself hasn't moved from its original location. Here's a brief explanation for why you are getting the missing media notification in your project.
