Relink offline media automatically

Last updated on Jun 23, 2025

Learn how to automatically link or disable relinking offline media in Premiere Pro.

Premiere Pro automatically finds and links offline media where possible. In the Link Media dialog box, the Relink others automatically option is selected by default.

The Align Timecode option is also checked by default to align the media file's source timecode to the clip being linked.

  • If you select Offline, only the selected files are made offline.
  • If you select Offline All, all the files, excluding the files that have already been located, are made offline.
  • If you select Cancel, all the files listed in the Link Media dialog are made offline.

At any point later, you can open the Link Media dialog box and relink the offline clips in your project by choosing the offline clip in the Timeline panel and selecting Clip > Link Media.

As per your selection, you’ll be able to automatically link or disable automatic linking of offline media.
