No these clips were originally processed by the DIT in Resolve I think. For the first week of the shoot, I asked for DNxHD36, but while I was working, I wasn't happy with the video quality and I knew they'd want to do early screeners without having to uprez, so I asked the DIT to start giving me DNxHD115. Then he went back and re-processed all of the DNxHD36 clips to DNxHD115 and gave them to me again. I'd already done a lot of organizing and cutting with the 36 material, so I wanted to relink the clips to the 115 material. That's what needed the visit to the original bin to have them relink. Make sense? So, no AMA and really no importing either. I used the same process as one of the assistant film editors used on several large features: namely, drop the DNxHD media directly into the Avid MediaFiles/MXF/# folder, import the AAF files, import (merging) the ALE file then importing the audio from the sound department and Autosyncing the audio to the video, which merged all of the sound department's metadata to the subclips created by the Autosync process.
When you uprezzed the clips - was it via AMA? If so, it might require you to Refresh Sequence-->AMA Plugins to get the subclips to update (whereas matchframing to the bin forced this).On Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 4:27 PM, Steve Hullfish steve4lists@veralith.com [Avid-L2] <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:I'm working on cutting a project where all of the clips that I edit with are SUBCLIPS.

I needed to uprez some of the original clips and when I did, all of my subclips were off-line and the portions of the sequence with the up-rezzed clips were also off-line. I could not get them to relink. Wanting to see if I could identify the "problem children" I did a match frame back from the subclip to the original master clip, then found the bin that the master clip was in (check a recent thread on Avid-L2 to see a brilliant way to do this in a single step).
As soon as the bin with the original master clips opened up, all of the subclips miraculously relinked automatically! AND the sequences that were edited using the subclips also immediately relinked to the uprezzed media, even though they didn't with the relink command. Interesting, huh?
