Restoring Source Link
This section explains how to restore the original source when the source cannot be referenced by the clip.
About Restoration of Offline Clips
This function helps to restore the original reference source file when you lost the link from the clip.
Clips registered in the bin are linked with their source. If the source used in a project file is moved or deleted, the clips linked to that source
become offline clips.
If there are offline clips on the timeline, an icon to indicate the presence of offline clips and the number of the offline clips are displayed on
the timeline status bar.
The offline clips on the bin and the timeline are displayed as below, and the video and audio are both muted during the playback.
