Understanding Dynamic Relink
1256
Example of associations between clips sharing only part of a timecode span. The original capture (top) creates
low-resolution media. A recapture operation (bottom) creates a new master clip and a new media file at a higher
resolution. The new master clip is shorter than the original but shares the same timecode span. Each clip is
associated with the resolution created at the time of the capture (solid arrows), and also with the other resolution
(dashed arrows). The source ID of the original tape is associated with both clips and both media files.
In a bin, the original clip appears with a half circle in the 1:1 column, to indicate that only part of
the clip is available in 1:1. The entire new clip (with the .01 extension) is available in both
resolutions, as indicated by the full circles in both resolution columns. The following illustration
shows these clips in a bin.
You can also create partially online files through archiving, consolidation, and transcoding a
subclip. For more information, see “Working with Partially Online Files” on page 1284.
Understanding Dynamic Relink
Dynamic relink is a feature that lets you select which media you want to use when you are
working in a MultiRez environment. Typically, you use low-res media for offline editing and
high-res media for a final master. For instance, you can edit in SD and output in HD. Dynamic
relink lets you control how your Avid editing application links your clips to the appropriate
media.
