Automatically Find and Relink
Automatically Find and Relink
is the simplest
method to relink sessions to required media, but it
provides no way to compare files or verify links.
This option cannot be undone. The
Automatically
Find and Relink
option does the following:
Searches all Performance volumes for all miss-
ing items with matching Name, ID, Format, and
Length.
Links missing items to the first matches found.
Commits links for all items possible, in the
background.
If some files remain unlinked, the Task window
opens and a failed task appears in the Paused
Tasks pane. Double-click the Task icon to open
the Relink window and manually find and relink
files.
Regenerate Missing Rendered Files Without
Searching
Enable this option to exclude rendered Elastic Au-
dio files from the relinking process (rendered files
are recalculated instead). This option is available
when
Automatically Find and Relink or Manually
Find and Relink
is enabled.
Missing Files in an Open Session
You can open the Project browser to select and re-
link some or all missing files.
To relink missing (offline) files in an open session:
1 Choose Window > Project.
2 Choose Relink Offline from the Browser menu
to open the Relink window.
3 Configure the Relink window as needed. See
“Relink Window” on page 317 for more infor-
mation.
To relink selected files in an open session:
1 Choose Window > Project.
2 Select the files to relink. Any file can be re-
linked, even if it is not an offline file.
3 Choose Relink Selected from the Browser
menu.
4 Configure the Relink window as needed. See
“Relink Window” on page 317 for more infor-
mation.
Links, once committed, cannot be undone
once the session is saved. The only way to re-
vert to previous links is to close the session
without saving changes.
Even if all of the missing files are later found
and relinked, the failed task remains in the
Task Window. Like all failed tasks, it must be
manually selected and deleted. See “About
Failed Tasks” on page 332.
