I have moved some material around on the drives. Somehow, when I reconnected the files in PPro to the media on the drive it only connected with one folder on the drive and now thousands of files in PPro are all linked to these same few media files on the drive.
I've tried to use the 'Reconnect Media' function to connect the files in PPro but somehow it keeps following the same bullshit 'file path' back to the same folder reconnecting to the same files as before even though I am pointing it at
To link media the new files have to be at a folder further upstream from the old data.
1. Move the old media location to some different folder, preferably to another drive.
2. If it hasn't been done automaticaly, select all clips and right click to "make offline"
3. Select all media, right click to "link media"
4. Tick "relink others automatically"
5. Find one of the files that you want to link
