Relinking Media Files
468
When you select subclips or sequences and select the Relink command, the system searches for
master clips that contain the same material included in the selection. If you relink online media,
the system searches for media clips that best match the options selected in the Relink dialog box.
You can relink master clips to appropriate media files or to source tapes with compatible rates,
and you can relink based on resolution. You can also relink sequences to imported or linked
AMA master clips. The system compares information such as source tape name, source file
name, timecode information, and channels captured. If the search is successful, the system
establishes new links to the available media files. You can instruct the system to search specific
drives or all available drives.

To maintain the original capture settings for a subclip or sequence, use the Batch Capture
command; do not use the Relink command.
n
If you relink a sequence and the bin that stores the AMA (Avid Media Access) referenced clips is
closed, the media does not relink. Before you relink, open the bin of the referenced clips. For
information on AMA, see “The Avid Media Access (AMA) Workflow” on page 374.
To relink master clips, subclips, or sequences:
1. Select the unlinked object or objects in the bin.
2. Select Clip > Relink.
The Relink dialog box opens.
