Re: [Avid-L2] Offline Relinking

I assume you mean linked cam original, correct?

Most of the original links are gone, material transcoded.

Will it work to create a new bin, and again link the cam originals

in that bin?

Then use that for the procedure you outline?

Usually, have all the camera original selected in a bin and a copy of the 'Final' edited sequence selected in another (or the same) bin and in the relink window, choose 'Relink to selected items in all open bins' (I may have the wording wrong).

Great.

What is the procedure, does it differ at all from normal relinking?

A proper AMA'd clip can be relinked back even after it has been transcoded. 

In the US, 1080i is for CBS and NBC. 720 is used by FOX and ABC/ESPN. 

Most cable broadcasters take 1080i with some allowing 1080/23.976p (i.e. HBO).

So,

I may have gotten myself into a situation.

Been cutting a 30 minute show, thinking delivery

would be 720.  Majority of clips are now transcoded.

Most original links are gone, but of course

the camera originals are still here.

This has dragged off and on for years,

not sure why I chose to trash the links.

If I/future online editor need to relink for 1080 delivery,

is there 'a way back'?

I was told years ago that broadcast in the US

was actually 720. not 1080.  Delivery specs for this outlet

say 1080.  Is this/was this never the case,

720 vs. 1080 in the USA?

If relink is not possible, 

then I suppose blowing up to 1080

is the only option.  Not ideal,

but an option.

Thanks.
