This IS the Avid L2: Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Self Promotion and Yet Another Pitiful Plea to Avid

Not really as fool proof as you might think. In my world, most of the
files being linked to are on a networked drive. Lots of people have
access. All anyone has to do is innocently bump into the file and it is
at risk of losing its very fragile link. Rendering helps in that it
creates a more or less real bit of media but it's not as robust a
solution as I would need in my work environment. --J.B.

This forces me to check the effect has the proper filter/resolution setting before rendering. After that as long as the effect does not get unrendered losing the link won't lose the video. This is not full proof but it makes it less likely to be a problem.
