HI there,
I can't really find any documentation that explains exactly how AMA finds
and refinds media, is there a definitive document on this? Some people are
saying UMID but not all media has this, like some QT's, or is it paths, or
both or what? And what's the priority list if there is one?
What is it looking for, drive letter and paths, filenames?
So if you want to relink QT's from a drive that was on another machine how
do you know what the path was? The bin column for drive is empty I guess
because the media isn't where it's expected but how do you know where it is
supposed to be? I can't see anywhere the whole path is stored when the file
is originally linked to be able to mount the drive in the right place
Relinking files for a big project seems a mammoth task if it works
especially with QT's because you can't relink volume you have to relink
files individually?
And finally if you wanted to import files that had previously had been AMA'd
this only works if the clip name hasn't been modified because the import
window looks for clip names which will be different to the source file name.
Or am I confused? Batch import for the final edit at high rez would be good
but how would you do this?
I am assuming if you kept everything the same, file name, and exact location
including drive letter the media would relink on another machine?
Thanks
N
