The manual says to: > select the AMA files you wish to relink in the bin (shift+select multiple clips) > Right click and select Relink to AMA File(s) > Locate the folder where the files exist > click ok.
To me, this suggests that it should link to the whole folder and re-establish the links to the clips in the bin without creating new ones. More useful than just re-AMAing the clips as any extra metadata you added to the unlinked AMA clips would be retained and not have to be entered again. However, it definitely doesn't work like that. To me this feature is broken.

It will, sometimes (no idea why) relink to a whole folder after pointing to the first file. But AMA relink is flaky, as you say. Nobody has ever been able to explain how it is SUPPOSED to work! I'd say that if a folder has been moved or renamed or the original drive is missing, then we should be able to use this feature but it is often greyed out.

I've found "relink to AMA" to be pretty useless as a relink method. I posted on the forums about it but no one got back to me. Long story short, it won't let you relink a whole folder of clips at once but only one file at a time, having to select the clip you want, click ok, then select the next clip you want, click ok etc and work your way through the whole folder in this manner. Total waste of time.

Instead of creating a new set of clips, as I expected, MC relinks the media to the existing clips! Woo-hoo! Presumably using the menu AMA Link command would work as well, but I have not yet tried this.
