12. In most cases, select “Relink only to media from the current project.”
Deselect this option if you know the new clips were captured with a different project name.
Also, if the sequence does not relink to the new clips, try deselecting the option and
relinking again.
13. Click OK.
The new clips link to the sequence.
If you duplicated the offline sequence, the offline sequence is still linked to the original
clips. If you did not duplicate the sequence, you relink it to the original clips.
To relink a sequence to the original clips:
1. Duplicate the sequence.
2. Create a new bin and move the sequence to the bin.
3. Locate the original clips. Look for a bin with the original clips, or use the Media tool to
locate the original clips.
For information on the Media tool, see “Using the Media Tool” on page 443.
4. Copy the clips to the bin that contains the duplicated sequence.
5. Select the sequence and the original clips.
6. Relink the clips by key number.
Modifying the Pulldown Phase After Capturing
If you have captured film-originated clips (NTSC transfer only) that seem to stutter, the problem
might be an incorrectly logged pulldown phase (the video frame at which the master clip starts:
A, B, X, C, or D). You log this pulldown phase in the “Pullin” column of a bin. To solve the
problem, you need to determine the correct pulldown cadence of the frame, modify the clip
information, and recapture the clip.

You can also determine the correct pulldown phase from the original tape. See “Entering
Pulldown Information” on page 151.
To check for an incorrect pullin frame:
1. Look for a section of the clip that includes a series of frames with motion.
2. Step through the clip frame by frame (using the Step buttons or another method) and look for
two frames that have no movement.
If the pattern is two frames of movement followed by two frames of no movement, the pullin
is incorrect.
