THE PROBLEM

Your footage lives in four places: two external SSDs from the shoot, a NAS where the DIT dumped the camera originals, and a local drive with downloaded stock clips. Last time you tried to build a Premiere project from scattered media, half the clips went offline when you moved to a different workstation. The other half broke when the NAS mounted on a different path.

Premiere's media management tools expect a predictable folder structure. When media is scattered across volumes with different mount points, relinking becomes a manual process. You end up with a project file that works on your machine but breaks on anyone else's, or breaks on your own machine the next time a drive mounts differently.

The footage isn't going to magically consolidate itself onto one drive. You need a project structure that handles where the media actually lives, not where Premiere wishes it lived.

HOW YOU SOLVE IT WITH WIDEFRAME

Point Wideframe at all your media locations
Import footage from all drives, NAS volumes, and local folders. Wideframe tracks the actual file paths and volume identifiers for every clip regardless of where it lives.

Agent maps the media topology
Wideframe builds a media map that understands which clips live on which volumes. It identifies potential relinking issues such as different mount points, duplicate filenames across drives, and path inconsistencies.

Export with correct path references
The exported .prproj file includes properly configured media paths and symlink structures so Premiere can find every clip on every volume. No offline media, no broken links.

Open on any workstation with the same drives connected
The project opens cleanly in Premiere as long as the drives are mounted. Move to a different machine, connect the same volumes, and the project relinks without intervention.

Build a multi-drive project that stays linked

Wideframe gives you an AI agent that handles the mechanical work of video editing so you can focus on the creative decisions. 7-day free trial.
