To use dynamic relink, you need to transfer you remote media to your Interplay environment
using a standard Ethernet connection.
Because the clips in your sequence initially link to the source clips’ original location and not to
the uploaded media, they might display as offline when you open your sequence back at the
station or production facility, or when you open the sequence from another remote system, unless
you first enable dynamic relink. If you check the clips in Avid Interplay Access, you might see
the file paths for uploaded clips point to their original remote editing location, and the status of
the media displays as offline or not available in the target resolution. You use dynamic relink to
resolve the links between the sequence and clips checked in to Interplay and the uploaded media:
1. On a system at the station or production facility where you uploaded your media, enable
dynamic relink in the Dynamic Relink Settings dialog box. Set the appropriate target and
working settings for your project so that the clips used in your sequence correctly link to the
online (uploaded) media.
2. Open your sequence in an Avid Editing application.
3. Check in your sequence to Interplay.
4. To update the file paths in Avid Access, you need to update your media by either
right-clicking your clips in your bins and selecting Update from Interplay, or right-clicking
your master clips in Access and selecting Update Status from Media Indexer.

There are some differences in how dynamic relink functions with the clips you upload remotely
as opposed to with standard MXF media clips:
• Unlike typical dynamic relink operations, relinking with AMA media clips requires that you
first load the clips associated with the AMA clip in a bin before you can relink.
• For some formats, AMA clips might not provide full media quality description. In this case,
the Avid editing application relinks your clip to the available media that most closely
matches the dynamic relink settings, ignoring any unspecified parameters.
• Dynamic relink always privileges managed media (Avid media that you have captured,
consolidated, or transcoded) over linked AMA media because the quality of managed media
is higher than linked AMA clips. Dynamic relink always selects managed media
corresponding to an AMA clip if it is available and has been indexed by the media indexer.
