If you click Yes and proceed with relinking to a different file, then the original Source In
and Source Out values for that shot will be overwritten with those of the new clip.
To relink every shot in the Timeline:
1
Choose File > Reconnect Media.
2
Choose the directory where the project’s media is saved from the Choose Media Path
dialog, and click Choose.
If that directory contains all the media used by the project, then every shot in the
Timeline is automatically relinked. If there are still missing media files, you’ll be warned,
and these shots will remain offline; you’ll need to use the Reconnect Media command
again to relink them.
To relink a single shot:
1
Control-click or Right-click a shot in the Timeline, and choose Relink Media from the
shortcut menu.
2
Choose a clip to relink to from the Select Media To Relink dialog, then click Load.
If the name and starting timecode of the media file matches that of the shot in the
Timeline, the media link is restored.
