Displaying Whether Media Is Available for Dynamic Relinking
1275
Clicking the MultiRez button changes only the display — it does not perform a dynamic relink,
and it does not update the status of the media. To update the status, use the Update Media Status
command. For more information, see “MultiRez Button Menu” on page 1279.
It is especially important to know whether media is available in the target settings if you are
going to use the Send to Playback command. Send to Playback automatically relinks to the
media specified by the target settings and renders any unrendered effects. A Send to Playback
operation does not succeed if the required media is not available. The MultiRez button lets you
see whether the media is available while you are still editing the sequence in the Timeline. If the
media is not available, you need to take an action such as transcoding the clips, recapturing the
clips, or performing a partial restore from the archive.
To show whether media in a sequence is available, do one of the following:
t Click the MultiRez button to select one of the displays described in the following table.
t Right-click the MultiRez button and select one of the following:
- Show Mismatches
- Show Target Availability
Using Clip Coloring to Show Available Resolutions
You can determine if clips are available in a particular resolution by coloring clips in the
Timeline. For examples of clip coloring in the Timeline, see “Examples of MultiRez Clip
Coloring” on page 1277.
