Have seen a couple of posts on this but no solutions so far - every time I open a project now it takes about 30 - 40 mins to 'relink footage' that has not moved, and it's making my workflow terrible as I do half WFH and half in house (client doesn't love it when you say you can't do anything for the first 30 mins because Premiere has not decided it's capable of playback).
I've heard its a bug on v26, but have tried all the suggested tricks (turn off media analysis, NTFS over ExFat, create a new project etc) but still doing it. Anyone have any workarounds?
I'm on an M1 MacBook Pro.
