[Avid-L2] Re: Does Skip Media already on target drive really work when relinking?

Well the multiple clips have their own media files that aren't shared according to "Reveal File". Perhaps If I did my relink with all the previous episodes mounted at the same time only one instance would be consolidated but that doesn't answer why it's not skipping media already on target drive.
