5. In the window that appears, navigate to one of the files you want to link to, or to the
folder that contains it.
Text at the bottom of the window indicates how many potential matches to items in your
original list were found (based on the filenames only).
Note: Final Cut Pro identifies matches based on proximity in the directory structure
and related filenames. For example, if your original files were in two adjacent folders,
Final Cut Pro looks in folders adjacent to the folder containing the file you chose
and relinks all matching files in the relative path. If your original files were named
“File1,” “File2,” “File3,” and so on, and you chose to relink to a file named “File1_A,”
Final Cut Pro looks for files named “File2_A,” “File3_A,” and so on to relink the remaining
items in your list.
6. Click Choose.
Final Cut Pro analyzes the files to confirm that all attributes (in addition to the filename)
match items in the original selection. Analysis results are shown below the Original Files
list (for example, “3 of 3 files matched”).
