Displaying Whether Media Is Available for Dynamic Relinking
1276
The following procedure refers to the default colors available for resolution tracking. You can
change the display colors that your Avid editing application uses by selecting custom colors in
the Clip Color dialog box. For more information, see “Displaying Clip Colors in the Timeline”
on page 672.
To enable clip coloring for MultiRez in the Timeline, do one of the following:
t Right-click the MultiRez button and select Enable Clip Coloring.
t Click the Timeline Fast Menu button, select Clip Color, then select Resolution Tracking and
click OK.
How your Avid editing application colors clips in the Timeline depends on your settings:
If you click the MultiRez button to show mismatches (bottom half of diamond black), clips
are colored as follows:
- No color change: The clip matches the working or target settings, depending on
which settings you are linked to.
- Color changes (to blue or red by default): The clip does not match the working or
target settings. Whether the color is blue or red depends on how you set the “If no
match is found” option in the Dynamic Relink dialog box, as shown in the
following table.
If you click the MultiRez button to show availability in the target resolution (top half of
diamond black), clips are colored as follows:
- No color change: The clip is available in the target settings
- Color changes (to yellow by default): The clip is not available in the target settings
This button provides the same information whether the clips are linked to the working
settings or the target settings.
If you enable clip coloring for MultiRez and then click the MultiRez button to display
mismatches or target availability, this setting overrides any other Timeline clip coloring that
might be set.
