This error code can easily be fixed by simply linking to the original file. The following step-by-step tutorial will show you how to &#8216;relink&#8217; your files and get rid of this classic\u00a0red screen error code.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-1-locate-missing-clip-in-the-project\">Step 1: Locate Missing Clip in the Project<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-65805 size-full\" title=\"Fixing the Media Offline Error in Premiere Pro:  Locate Missing Clip in the Project\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Premiere-Pro-Quick-Tip_1.gif\" alt=\"Fixing the Media Offline Error in Premiere Pro:  Locate Missing Clip in the Project\" width=\"755\" height=\"284\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anytime Premiere Pro can&#8217;t find a media asset on your computer, you will see a red <strong>Media Offline<\/strong> screen. The first thing you need to do is find which clips are offline in your project. To do this, simply navigate to the project panel or <strong>hit Shift + 1<\/strong> on your keyboard. You&#8217;ll see in the project panel that your missing clips have a small question mark icon on them. Select all of the missing clips, right click, and select <strong>Link Media<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-2-locate-the-original-file\">Step 2: Locate the Original File<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-65804 size-full\" title=\"Fixing the Media Offline Error in Premiere Pro: Locate Original File\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Premiere-Pro-Quick-Tip-2.gif\" alt=\"Fixing the Media Offline Error in Premiere Pro: Locate Original File\" width=\"755\" height=\"293\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Premiere Pro will pop up a box called a media browser. The media browser works very similarly to a regular media browser (like Explorer on PC or Finder on Mac). Simply select the file you wish to link to and select <strong>Locate<\/strong>. Find the clip that went missing and <strong>click OK<\/strong>. If you received the <strong>Media Offline<\/strong> error because you moved a folder to a new location, your other missing clips might automatically get linked as well \u2014 it all depends on the original folder structure. Continue this process for all of your\u00a0missing files.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-3-verify-the-files\">Step 3: Verify the Files<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-65806 size-full\" title=\"Fixing the Media Offline Error in Premiere Pro:  Verify in the File\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Premiere-Pro-Quick-Tip-3.jpg\" alt=\"Fixing the Media Offline Error in Premiere Pro:  Verify in the File\" width=\"1000\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Premiere-Pro-Quick-Tip-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Premiere-Pro-Quick-Tip-3.jpg?resize=300,123 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Premiere-Pro-Quick-Tip-3.jpg?resize=768,314 768w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Premiere-Pro-Quick-Tip-3.jpg?resize=277,113 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Premiere-Pro-Quick-Tip-3.jpg?resize=359,147 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Premiere-Pro-Quick-Tip-3.jpg?resize=543,222 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Premiere-Pro-Quick-Tip-3.jpg?resize=865,354 865w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Premiere-Pro-Quick-Tip-3.jpg?resize=994,407 994w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Premiere-Pro-Quick-Tip-3.jpg?resize=560,229 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Premiere-Pro-Quick-Tip-3.jpg?resize=150,61 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There shouldn&#8217;t be any issues at all with your newly linked footage.
