the answer lies in re-link not batch import.

Subject: [Avid-L2] Batch import problem
Greetings L2rs,
I've lurked awhile and have come to appreciate the amazing support the
members of this list give. So I'm hoping to understand an issue I have
- with a little help.
I'm on MC5.5.2 on a Mac.
Quite a large documentary project shot mostly on P2 cards.
Cards copied to ext hard drive. AMA works beautifully.
I renamed and sorted the clips into various bins.
Because of other mixed formats to come, I started to transcode to
DNXHD 185x onto my internal raid, but found that It takes up too much
space. (project will eventually be approx 100 hours)
So I figure I should actually transcode to DV 25 for offline, then re-
import or re-link for online.
Here is the thing: If I delete the media of any of the transcoded
clips, I cannot batch import in any format - not the original, not the
project format, not even un-renamed clips.
Obviously I point to the original clips on the external drive.
Error Message:
"You cannot import this file to a bin - See the documentation about
transferring media files"
I have searched the documentation, but am none the wiser.
Re-link also doesn't work.
What am I missing? Any pointers would be appreciated. Also, if this is
not good workflow, please advise.
Thanks
Ashley
