# Premiere Pro and After Effects

Manage linked project assets in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.

These instructions use Premiere Pro terminology. Most steps also apply to After Effects.

## Open a Premiere Pro project

The Links workflow is available when the project contains linked assets.

#### A. How to Open a Premiere Pro Project via LinkrUI and Manage Its Assets

1. **Open the project**

   When you open a Premiere Pro project through LinkrUI, Premiere Pro may show **Link Media** if linked files are unavailable locally. Click **Cancel** so LinkrUI can manage the links.
2. **Open the Links dialog**

   Click **Links** in the bottom toolbar.
3. **Download cloud-linked assets**

   If assets in the `.prproj` file are already linked to the cloud, they begin downloading automatically.

   After download and relinking succeed, the link status changes to a checkmark, indicating that the asset is valid and available locally and in the DAM.

*Note: This depends on the **Link Updates** preference. By default, **Download Links** is **On**.*

**Relink missing assets to cloud**

If some assets are missing locally but exist in your cloud system, click **Relink all to cloud** in **Bulk Actions**.

**Review relink suggestions**

If LinkrUI finds matching cloud assets, it shows the best matches in a dialog.

**Switch source if needed**

To relink from a different DAM, click the **Asset Source** logo at the top of the **Links** dialog and select another authenticated source.

To Approve the selection, click the Approve

button.

You can also relink them with assets from a different DAM by clicking the Asset Source logo at the top of the Links dialog. This will open a drop-down menu with a list of the sources you are currently authenticated for.

#### B. How to Upload a New Premiere Pro Project and Its Assets to Your DAM Using LinkrUI

1. Open Premiere Pro and create a new project.
2. Import the files that you want to use in your project from your device or drag assets from the LinkrUI panel.
3. To manage the linked assets, go to the Links dialog by clicking the Links button in the bottom toolbar.
4. To upload to the Cloud all the local assets used in the project, click the Upload All button from the Bulk Actions menu.
5. This will open the Upload dialog window.
6. Click the Upload button to upload all of your assets to the Cloud.
7. When the upload is completed and the relink is successful, the asset icons will change from Local (computer icon) to Cloud (checkmark icon), which means that the asset is available locally and in the Cloud.
8. Now that the links have been relinked and all of the assets are in the Cloud, you can upload your Premiere Pro project.
9. Before you upload your project, it is important to make sure it is saved.
10. To upload your Premiere Pro project to your DAM, select the Upload option from the Document button menu at the bottom left of the LinkrUI panel. You can also select the Upload New Asset option from the dropdown menu in the upper right corner of the LinkrUI panel.

That's it! Your project and all of its included assets are now in your DAM.

Once the project has been uploaded, it will be available to your colleagues who have access to your source system. Next time the project is opened via LinkrUI, it will have all of its assets linked to the Cloud, regardless of where the project is opened.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.santacruzsoftware.com/linkrui/smart-linkr/premiere-pro-and-adobe-after-affects.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
