Premiere duplicates files when importing through PluralEyes

[Guest]

Hey there, I have an issue when importing files that were previously synced in PluralEyes 3.

I have one card of Audio and six cards of video. I would like to sync every card individually and not all cards at once. If I do this, I get six individual XML files that I can import into Premiere. Because the sound was only recorded on one card, I had to import all the sound for every card I wanted to sync. Therefore, the XML files will obviously have all the sound in every file. Once I import the XMLs into Premiere, it imports all of the sound six times, which I would like to avoid.

For some reason, Premiere didn't do this on the last project I worked on. It imported the sound once. When I imported the other cards, that had the same sound linked in them, Premiere didn't import the sound again - only the new video files that had not yet been imported.

I hope it is understandable, what my issue is. As it wasn't a problem on the last project, I am quite annoyed that it suddenly doesn't work the same way anymore.

Does anyone have suggestions for this?

Daniel Bendig,

Sorry for the frustration. Kindly update Premiere Pro past 12.0.1 to be clear of this issue: Re: Can't Import an XML without Duplicating Footage

If it is still occurring in later versions, please, file the bug here: Premiere Pro: Hot (3126 ideas) – Adobe video & audio apps

Thank You,

Kevin
