Working with Partially Online Files
1286
In the following example, the MultiRez button is blue, indicating that your Avid editing
application is in the Show Mismatches display. The original master clip is displayed in the
Timeline, with a working resolution set to 15:1s. Two portions of the clip are colored red, which
is the default color indicating that these portions of the clip are offline and thus are not available
in the working resolution.
Consolidating and Deleting Original Media
You can create partial clips when you consolidate and then delete the original media. The result
is similar to the example in “Consolidating and Transcoding a Portion of a Clip” on page 1284,
in which a new clip is created through consolidation.
To consolidate and delete the original media:
1. Assume you have the same 10-minute master clip that has DV 25 and 15:1s versions of the
media.
2. Edit a one-minute portion of the DV 25 media into a sequence.
3. Consolidate the sequence.
This creates a new, one-minute clip with DV 25 media.
4. Use the Dynamic Relink option to relink the clips in the sequence to 15:1s.
5. Delete the DV 25 media from the original 10-minute clip.
6. Perform a dynamic relink to DV 25.
Your Avid editing application links to the DV 25 media in the consolidated clip but does not
replace the clip with the consolidated clip. The original clip remains in the Timeline and
your Avid editing application displays the DV 25 material. If you trim the clip past the DV
25 portion you see offline frames or 15:1s frames, depending on your Dynamic Relink
settings. In the bin, the DV 25 media is shown as partially online.
Partially Restoring from an Archive
A clip might be displayed as partially online when you perform a partial restore from an archive.
