Using the Relink Dialog Box in an Avid Interplay
Environment
Relinking through the Relink dialog box is different from dynamic relink. In an Avid Interplay
environment, relinking through the Relink dialog box is limited to non-master clips (subclips and
sequences). You can relink these only through source timecode and tape. Other options are
unavailable.
Relinking through the Relink dialog box is clip-based. Clips are linked to one set of media
(video, audio, or both) and you relink a sequence (or subclip) to a selected set of clips. Dynamic
relink is source-based. See “Understanding How Clips are Associated with Multiple
Resolutions” on page 1251.
Although relinking through the Relink dialog box is different from dynamic relink, the Media
Indexer service manages both processes. To relink sequences or subclips through Media Indexer,
select the sequence or subclip and one or more master clips.
For complete information on relinking, see “Relinking Media Files” on page 467.
Displaying Whether Media Is Available for
Dynamic Relinking
You can display a visual indication of whether media is available in the resolution or sample rate
specified in the Dynamic Relink settings. To provide this information, your Avid editing
application communicates with the Media Indexer to determine the availability of working and
target media for each clip in the Timeline.
Two features provide this information:
• MultiRez button
•Clip coloring
Using the MultiRez Button to Show Available Media
The MultiRez button in the Timeline bottom toolbar lets you display two types of information:
• Whether the media currently linked to a clip matches the working or target settings (Show
Mismatches display)
• Whether media for a clip is available in the target settings (Show Target Availability display)
