If an object in your project file is offline and you do not immediately reconnect it upon
opening the project, it appears as a checkered rectangle that occupies the entire
bounding box of the object.

If you do not immediately reconnect an offline object, you can still save changes to the
project and even close it again, and reconnect the offline objects later. You can
reconnect these offline objects at any time.

To reconnect an object in a project with its source media on disk:

1

Open the Media tab in the Project pane.

2

Select the offline object you want to reconnect.

3

Open the Inspector, then click the Media tab.
