Relinking Multiple Missing Files
Using the Find Links button, multiple files can be
matched and linked in one procedure.
To relink multiple missing files:
1 Configure Areas to Search. (See “Selecting Ar-
eas to Search” on page 318.)
2 Select one or more items in the Files to Relink
list. The Find Links button becomes available.
3 Click Find Links.
4 Configure criteria for relinking, if necessary, in
the Linking Options dialog:
• By default, Find by Name and ID is enabled.
• To add additional matching criteria, select an op-
tion from the Linking Options dialog. (Modifi-
cation Date is only applicable to Catalogs.)
• If
Match Duration is enabled, Pro Tools only se-
lects files of the same length or greater.
5 Click OK to continue (or click Cancel to return
to the Relink window).
Pro Tools searches for an acceptable candidate for
the first missing file (the first item selected in the
Files to Relink list). A link icon appears next to
each file as Pro Tools finds and links the first ac-
ceptable candidate to the missing file. The Link
Path column shows the location of the selected
candidate. Pro Tools continues searching, match-
ing, and linking for each missing file in the Files to
Relink list.
OMF video clips can only be relinked to a
session if they have matching Unique IDs.
QuickTime video clips can only be relinked to
a session by file name and file format (Quick-
Time).
To control matching and linking criteria
when relinking an individual missing file,
use the Find Links button. Find Links is ex-
plained in “Relinking Multiple Missing
Files” on page 319.
