Skip All

Use the Skip All option to skip all missing files
and fades. 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
Region List and the Project browser with italic
text. Missing fades are regenerated if the con-
tributing files are online.

Manually Find and Relink

This option opens the Relink window. Use the
Relink 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 256
for more information.

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 Auto-
matically Find and Relink

option does the follow-

ing:

• 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 win-

dow 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.

Missing files warning when opening a session

Links, once committed, cannot be undone
once the session is saved. The only way to
revert 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 272.
