Manually locate and relink offline media
You can manually find and reconnect the media that Premiere Pro is unable to automatically relink. To do so, in the
Link Media dialog box, click the Locate button.
The Locate File dialog opens with the closest existing directory showing up to three levels. If no exact match is found,
the directory is displayed considering where the file should have been, or the same directory location as the previous
session.
The Locate File dialog displays the file directory listing using the Media Browser user interface by default.
Note: If you want to locate the files using your computer's file browser, deselect Use Media Browser To Locate Files in the
Link Media dialog box.
You can manually search for a file within the Locate File dialog by clicking Search. Looking at the Last Path can help
you locate the exact missing file easily and quickly.
You can edit the Path field. If necessary, you can copy the full path or a segment of the path from the Last Path string,
and paste it into the Path field. This option is especially useful to quickly help locate the path to the missing file.
To help you narrow down your search results, the Locate File dialog also provides you with advanced filter options, like
displaying specific file types and selecting Display Only Exact name Matches. In addition, you can switch from a list
view to a thumbnail view for a visual confirmation of a specific media file.
