Understanding Dynamic Relink

n
Dynamic relink is currently not supported for HD media that requires pulldown. Therefore, you
can only use it with projects where media has been acquired at the native frame rate (without
pulldown).
You specify two different groups of settings:
• Working settings are the settings you want to use while you edit the sequence:
For offline editing of a sequence, your editing application uses the resolution specified in the
working settings. This is where you can specify a low-res proxy instead of high-res media so
that you can work more efficiently, and save space on your online storage.
• Target settings are the settings you want to use for your final master:
When you finish the offline editing, the Send to Playback command automatically outputs
the sequence in your target resolution and format. The clips in the sequence do not change
— your Avid editing application dynamically relinks them to the media files in the target
resolution.
You specify these settings in the Dynamic Relink Settings dialog box, which is available in the
Settings list of the Project window. For more information, see “Using the Dynamic Relink
Settings Dialog Box” on page 1266.
