The clips appear linked in the bin. If all the clips you wanted to relink to do not reside in the
selected folder, you will receive a dialog indicating how many files were not relinked. Open
the Console window to see the name of the file or files that were not relinked.

If the new file is not compatible with the clip in the bin (it does not have the same duration, edit
rate or number of tracks), the clip in the bin retains its original link.
Spanned Clips
Spanned clips are clips that extend from one card to another. Avid supports working with
spanned clips with some third party devices such as P2, AVCHD, Canon, and XDCAM EX.
The following illustration shows how clips can span multiple cards.
Example of spanned clips. The white rectangles represent P2 cards and the gray rectangles represent clips. The
first and third clips span multiple cards.
