You can select any media files (online, offline,
and Transfer files).
3 Choose Copy and Relink Selected from the
Browser menu.
4 If the default location for the copies (the ses-
sion’s Audio Files folder) is not appropriate,
specify a different location and click
Choose.
5 The files are copied to the chosen destination
and the session or Catalog is relinked in the
background.
Missing Files
Files are missing if they are not found in the same
location as when the session was last saved. This
could be because you moved the files or the ses-
sion folder, or because the files are on a volume
that is not currently mounted.
Opening a Session with Missing
Files
To open a session with missing files:
1 When you open a session, Pro Tools opens the
session with all available media, then shows
you how many files are missing (if any) and
asks how you want to proceed. (If told that files
are unsuitable for playback, see “Transfer Files”
on page 314.)
2 Select one of the following:
•
Skip All—or press Command+S (Mac) or
Control+S (Windows).
•
Manually Find Relink—or press Command+M
(Mac) or Control+M (Windows).
•
Automatically Find Relink—or press
Command+A (Mac) or Control+A (Windows).
3 Select Regenerate Missing Rendered Files
Without Searching
to exclude rendered Elastic
Audio files from the relink process and regener-
ate them instead.
4 Click OK.
Skip All
Use the Skip All option to skip all missing files.
This option is the fastest way to open the session
utilizing all available media. Missing files are
offline in the session, and shown in the Clip List
and the Project browser with italic text.
Manually Find and Relink
This option opens the Relink window. Use the Re-
link window to search, compare, verify, and relink
missing files. Files can be relinked one at a time or
in batches. See “Relink Window” on page 317 for
more information.
