Force Relinking Files in DigiBase
If you want to link to a substitute file (for exam-
ple, if you know a file has the same audio or
video but does not have a matching File Name
or Unique ID), you can force a relink.
◆
To force relink an audio file, its file format
(WAV, SD2, AIFF, or MXF), sample rate and bit
depth must match those of the original file.
◆
To force relink a video file, its format (Quick-
Time, Avid, MXF, or OMF) and frame rate must
match those of the original file.
To force a relink:
1
Choose Window > Project.
2
Choose Relink Offline from the Browser
menu.
3
In the Relink window, select one item in the
Files to Relink list.
4
Navigate in the Areas to Search pane to locate
the file you want to relink.
5
Drag the file to the Candidates pane in the
Relink window.
6
Click the Link icon next to the file you
dragged to the Candidates pane.
7
Click the Commit Links button.
