Restoring Deleted Objects, Media Files and Render Files
A number of options are available for retrieving “deleted” objects, files and statuses. Sometimes, how-
ever, certain manipulations are required and sometimes it cannot be done. The following is an overview
of emergency and preventive measures:
Object (Clip) Deleted - Media File Found
A clip can easily be created from a Media File:
1 Identify the Media File on the Media tab in the Project window, for example based on the Reel
name, or switch to Picon View.
2 Then call the Create clip(s) from Media File(s) function from the Media File shortcut menu.

Media File Deleted - Object (Clip) Found
If the object is a logged object, you can quickly re-digitize it by means of a Batch Digitize operation (pro-
vided that the original material is still present). See “Batch Digitize (Batch Capture)” on page 305.
In the case of imported Media Files, a copy may still exist (for example, in the network). If the file is still
located in the original storage location, Media Management will find it automatically.
Media File and Object (Clip) Deleted
In such a case there is little hope. Perhaps you can access the object via a working version you saved at an
earlier point in time (see also Earlier Versions on page 363).
Render File Deleted - Effect Found
This is simple. Avid Liquid re-renders the effect when, for example, the relevant Sequence must be played.
Render File and Effect Deleted
Standard effects can be applied once again at the appropriate positions. Avid Liquid re-renders the effect
when, for example, the relevant Sequence must be played.
Customized effects must be recreated. It is recommended that you save labor-intensive effects in a Rack.
