2. This happens every time you open a project. PP will ask for the location of any missing media.
3. This is a major flaw in the AVCHD design. You will have a hard time with this one, as there is no way to know which 0013.mts is being asked for. It's a big enough issue that you may want to seriously consider doing all the work on one machine.
4. No. PP doesn't create any reports.

Thanks for the feedback. Our directory structure and overall media size is just too big to do this for each sequence.

Does Adobe have a recommended workaround? I do understand that this is a flaw in AVCHD - but I'm hoping there is a solution based on clip duration file size, date modified, etc. FCP7 gave us a warning if we tried to reconnect a clip that didn't match in length or qty. of tracks. How have others got past this issue?

I think my original questin lacked some clarity. What I'm looking for is ANY way to identify clips in a sequence that are missing media. For example - in FCP7, clips would show up a certain color in the sequence. The reconnect dialog would tell you what was missing, etc. I've been using the "Properties" tool this morning... clip-by-clip to find audio clips that don't have a file path listed. There's got to be a better way...
My ultimate goal is to send a list (or screenshot), either Premiere-generated, or generated by hand, to the other pos facility for all the missing clips, SFX, etc.
Thanks!

See this discussion on how PrPro searches for missing AVCHD files. Check out this thread as well.

Ah. In the sequence, the clip will show a red Media Offline warning when you try and watch it. In the bin, you do get an Offline icon.

Fuzzy Barsik Feb 20, 2013 12:35 AM (in response to hey Aaron)Is there a way to generate a list of all missing media (and some metadata) for a sequence?
Since PrPro project is an XML file, you can open it up with e.g. Microsoft Excel.
Depending on whether you opened the file as XML table or just XML map, either drop on the list ActualMediaFilePath and OfflineReason fields from XML map (fields are located in Media root folder of the map) or find these columns manually and hide all the rest. Then just filter out '0' values in OfflineReason and Bob's your uncle:
NOTE: That's for the whole project, not for a particular sequence in the project.

Fuzzy - that is extremely helpful. Thanks a ton!
