We use it outside of its main purpose to create rounded corners, but it works just as effectively by using it the intended way as well.

Why can’t Premiere Pro Locate My Media?

When the media goes offline in Adobe Premiere Pro its usually because of the source file being moved or deleted. When you move a file on your computer, Premiere Pro can’t find it anymore and doesn’t know what should be in your video.
