clips with a wrong refering
once i copied a project to another location in a wrong way. instead of importing i copied. after this i imported into it so i got 2 sources in the project panel and i have clips made good (by import) and other clips made wrong by copy. i tried to refer the bad clips to the source by selecting a clip and “Replace with clip From bin” but i got the all source (from its begining ) and not the edited clip with its right long efects etc. then i tried to do “replace footage” to the source avi that the bad clips are refered to – but it didnt succede because the source is ok. i think i need a way to tell every damage part to refere to the source and keeping its efects. any ideas please?

Is it possible to make the clips that are wrong in the Project panel “Offline” and then connect them to the right media manually?

the clips are in the timeline-not in the project panel

I understand.
But they all refer to the same media files.
Try this:
Save as you project so you are working from a safe copy.
If you go to the timeline and right click on a bad clip, there is an option to reveal the clip source in the project panel.
In the project panel right click that clip and choose make offline (BUT MAE SURE YOU CHOOSE MEDIA FILES REMAIN ON DISK).
then, take the offline clip, right click it and choose “Link Media”
then find the correct media file.
This should fix it in the project panel and the the timeline.

just one question before i go on
what do you meen by: BUT MAE SURE YOU CHOOSE MEDIA FILES REMAIN ON DISK -
It is an option that comes up when select “make offline.”
This means that when you disconnect the media in the project window from the files on the hard drive, the files on the hard drive are not deleted.
