Thanks Dave. I think that is what we are going to have to do. Not as many bins as clips! I'm sure it was alot simpler with tapes!

I guess the big question is, how many bins? You could open each bin, right click, select offline items, ALT / OPTION drag to a new bin. This way all the clips would still be in the original bins but copies would all be in one bin to reimport.

Just checked and you are correct, you cannot select more than one clip or drag from the find window. Never tried this before, but it sure is limited. :-(

The problem is the clips are offline because the drive is dead so they don't show up in the Media Tool.

The find tool will find them if I search for the drive name, but I have no way of copying all those clips (1576 clips) into a bin so I can start relinking them to the Backup drive. Any ideas?

The media tool only works with clips in the media files folder. The OP said that drive is gone.

You can use the find command and use the drive name in the search field. It will only search across bins in the current project, so you may have to open multiple projects to get all the clips.

Trying the media tool. Have it display all master clips and sort by the drive column so it groups all clips from drive 1 together. You can make a new bin and drag those clips to it so it's all in one place

We have had a problem where we have lost an external drive with lots of our consolidated online material on it. The material is all backed up from the camera cards on another drive and is on our server at DNx36 resolution. But we need to recreate the lost drive which contained the Camera Media consolidated at native res.

The problem we have is that the data wrangler didn't create one bin with all the media from that one drive in it. The master clips are spread over many multiple bins (this is a big big project). The only way i can tell if the media is off the lost drive is 1. that it is offline and 2. The drive name comes up in the drive column.

The question is...is there a way of sorting or searching an entire project to show only clips with Drive x in the drive column so I can find all clips that came off that drive?

Thanks
