Change Media Path
Maybe a stupid question, but can you change the “Media Path” of files already in CatDV?
I know you can add entries to the “Media Search Paths” which basically has the same result. Just wondering if it’s possible or not.

Yes. In the Media menu select “Update Media Location” and navigate to the new location of the file. If you’ve moved many files, you can multi-select clips and it will try to apply the same ‘move’ to all the files it can. You can also set up a path mapping rule from old to new, but generally better to update the records to point to the right place.

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

Is this say for example when you move original media files to a NEW hard drive and change the entire path? How do you handle the PROXY MEDIA that was already created and has the OLD PATH?

Yes – this would certainly be one use of this feature. In terms of proxies – CatDV uses path mapping rules to look up the proxies – so as long as the folder structure is preserved then you can usually fix the proxy lookup just by changing a single path mapping (or if you’re using CatDV Server a Media Store path).
