When I open the project, it says for each of these two video files, "The selected file cannot be linked because it has 1 audio channel(s) and the clip was created with 2 audio channel(s) with a different channel type."
I know this isnt a perfect answer, but if it's only 2 clips, can you manually re-import them (not relink, just important the current versions you have as though they were new clips) and then just manually swap out the two clips in the timeline?
Yeah unfortunately, that's the only solution I've come up with, as well. The problem with that is I can't see exactly which parts of those video files I cut. I have a rough idea, but it won't be the same.
Any more insights into this, as I have hundreds of clips like that? I am in a major stress over this issue - I basically consolidated the project onto another hard drive that I need to give away for further editing, but now I keep getting the same message and have no clue how to relink the proxy media.
I had the same problem and I had the project on an external hard drive. The problem with relinking proxies was that premiere learnt the path of the project was on H: drive. After some days I opened it again, but with different letter drive (L:), and that was the problem even it was the same external hard drive! So the solution is just to change the letter of the hard drive to the original one (in my case it was H:). There are several tutorials on youtube how to do it.
I was using the "replace footage" option since I had made some edits to a video file outside of Premiere and wanted to replace all of my clips in Premiere with the new version without taking an hour to do it manually. That error popped up because I was originally using a .wmv video file and was trying to swap with a .avi file. Silly mistake on my part, but replacing the original video with another .wmv file worked.
It probably won't work, but make a new copy of your video files with the same file extension of the original. Right click the video file in the Project Assets bin, chooose "replace footage," navigate to the new cop of the video file, and see if Premiere will load it. If that doesn't work, maybe use Adobe Media Encoder to convert the file to another format. I dunno, good luck.
As a workaround, I offlined all the clips that had this 4 vs. 2 channel audio issue to get my project opened. Then filtering out the offlined footage out of my Dailies bin, I chose "Link Media", selected the missing clips and it resynced just fine.
This just saved me a ton of time. I literally just offlined all clips and relinked them to the source clips rather than the proxies and they linked fine. No idea why it wouldn't relink just the same in any other circumstance but this worked 100%.
Worked for me too, didn't need to offline the actual clips, but when opening a project prepped by my AE I was only getting that error on the proxies. So I offlined all proxies, then when the project opened, I just right-clicked on my top folder for footage, went to Proxy>Attach Proxies, and attached the first one and they all relinked.
But of course, Adobe won't fix this lol. Thankfully the user community always finds a way to make things work when Adobe doesn't want to.
I offlined them all and jump in to the sequences and deleted all of the scratch audio from the camera (5 channels), that I no longer needed and just relinked the video to the proxy file. That left me with the externally recorded sound files (that I had tentacled synced previously) and the now linked proxies.
This worked solution worked perfectly for me so far
The proxies took multiple hours to generate so re-transcoding was not an option on this deadline so that's why I'm here. I did exactly as you said and the 2-channel proxies re-linked smoothly to the 5-channel hi-res files. I did not need the in-cam audio at all so this process was painless.
Thank you for your solution, monty_baxter!
Same issue here but with hundreds of clips. Just chose to offline all the media & then when in the project, linked all the media (by folder to make the process faster/automated) and it was fine. 5min fix.
What worked for me was to cancel the first re-link window you get when first opening the project and then re-link each clip individually by right clicking on them in my timeline. It took a bit more time, but at least I didn't have to re build my whole edit from the ground up!
I have adobe Premire 2023 running on a dedicated HPZ8 Windows PC with Nvidia Quadro5000 GPU and 192 gigs of Ram. I am constanly havving issues (i think are related to the Nvidia GPU) with playing and stopping playback on the timeline. I happens after about 5 minuutes of editing. The cursor continues to move even after hitting spacebar. This is most frustrating as I have spen hours reinstalling premiere, resetting windows rolling back Nvidia drivers, trying different keyboards... and the list goes on and on.
I spent two hours today with adobe chat support and did everything suggested: resetting preferences, clearing caches, rolling back Nvidia drivers. Support told me they are looking for perfect Nvidia driver but haven't found it yet...
I can not agree more. We having very big issues. On every editing station, Proxy hires.. 2 cams and 10 cams all same, after a while Start /stop doesnt work any more. Only a restart of Adobe can fix it . This is really horrible: it is on 23.1 -23.2 and the beta version.. all same issue. after a while somethimes short or long it just stops working. Stop can be a delay of 6seconds or the whole timeline because it keeps playing. We had AJA, but disable mercuty playback gives same issue .. we out of toughts, we changes settings, went to ASIO to MME, we resetted profiles, Adobe, clean install all..
It sounds like exact same issues I am having. We also have a Mac Stuido (M1) in our audio room with another Adobe CC seat. I loaded Premiere on the Mac and editied multicamera video with no issues. There are some serious issues with Nvidia graphics cards that are not being addressed. Once the "Start/Stop" bug happens, nothing else works. I can't scroll timeline, choose any of the edit tools, or close any windows until Premiere stops playing back on its own. It is almost like a data buffer fills up and clogs the control process. I wonder if it is usb related as all of my control things (keyboard, mouse, tangent color controller, and Monogram Palette controller are USB... Adobe please help fix this isssue once and for all.
We have alos no clue at the moment, where it comes from. We can see that it is always triggerd when put Program in multicam view. Also something found out: In the timeline: in the timeline track if audio meters enabled and you press expand tracks: it blocks . If we go to audio header and remove the audio meters , works beter. So looks like there multiple triggers on this. We just had reports : somebody working alday multicam. no issue. Now at 3pm the issue is there and from then on crash after crash. pffff
Interesting that we are troubleshooting this issue for Adobe... But I want to get it fixed as I do a lot of multi-cam projects (longform 1 hour concert videos). So far today... I built a new project, 2-cameras, All video files ProRes LT, external recorded audio track 48 K Wav. I created a sequence called Set-2 and import two video tracks with scratch audio and one "mixed" audio track. I line everything up using sync points created during filming. Next I select the video tracks and create a nested sequence. I enable Multicam on the nested sequence and save it. In the program monitor window, I click the wrench and turn on Multicamera. (Note: there used to be an icon for multicamera in the toolbar below the program monitor, but it is gone on the windows machine...) I start to edit using Number Keys on keyboard to select camera and spacebar to play and stop. After about 3 minutes of editing, I start getting the lag issues. They start slowly but quickly escalate until the program crashes. I have to shut down and restart premiere. I am also constantly saving the project after every four or five edits. the frustrating thing is a project that I can edit in a couple hours now takes all day!!
The tool on toolbar is still there : press the "+" sign and you can add it. Do you have a transmit device ? BMD or AJA ? Is the hardware on ASIO or MME ? MME works beter and put it on NO input . Playbeack on AJA or desntop audio? You on a sever or on local Hard disk ? or direct attached ?
I have Transmit turned off. I have ASIO hardware, but I have diabled it and am using the PC's internal "RealTek" audio device for monitoring set for MME and Input turned off. Don't use AJA. playback is on edit monitor (32" LG displayport connection). Project is on its own 1TB SSD. USB-C conneciton to Computer.
I am seriously looking to purchase a new Mac Studio and get rid of the HP as. I have had a lot of issues with it and Adobe Premiere. (Nvidia Quadro 5000 seems to be the culprit.) If you read earlier posts in this thread, it appears that Quadro was the choice, but no longer. Sad as I have investment in Quadro GPU.
So my new editing workflow is Start Premiere... Load the prject... Edit for three minutes.... when lag starts, save and shut down Premiere..... Repeat. At this rate it will take me two days to edit a one hour concert set.
I'm sorry you guys are having these issuse. Sounds aweful. Maybe @Kevin-Monahan can make a suggestion. Also, if you want to see some good hardware testing for PP, AE, Etc and plenty of recent and past articles, check over at Puget:
I took the project over to our Mac Studio. Loaded Premiere and started to edit. This is a simple two camera multicam project. Everything was working fine for about an hour. Then little by little the start/stop playback issues came back. On the Mac I noticed the timeline cursor would "stutter" and the timecode window would would not increment time. This is the most recent build of Premiere.
I am so frustrated with Adobe and this known issue that they are not fixing that I am now seriously starting to look at alternative video editing software. As a long time Adobe usere and supporter, I am thourouly disappointed with the buggy releases ever since the 2019 versions and the lack of customer support to solve these issues.
