When linked files are modified in Photoshop or Illustrator, how does Premiere respond?

When files linked from applications like Photoshop or Illustrator are modified, Premiere automatically recognizes those changes and updates the linked file. This seamless integration allows editors to make design adjustments in their graphic software without the need to re-import assets into Premiere. After modifications are saved in Photoshop or Illustrator, those updates become visible in Premiere in real-time. This dynamic linking not only enhances workflow efficiency but also helps maintain consistency, as any graphic edits are instantly reflected in the video project.

The other options do not accurately represent the behavior of Premiere with linked files. For instance, ignoring changes would not be practical for collaborative work, while creating duplicates would clutter the project and complicate the asset management. Re-importing is also inefficient, disrupting the editing flow and unnecessarily increasing the time taken to update projects. Therefore, automatic updates of linked files are crucial for an effective editing process in Premiere.
