    Hi,

    I just received a timeline for a feature film. In it, roughly 5% percent of it is offline. That adds up to about 100 items. How can I create a bin with these items to send back to the person that sent the sequence so that he can get me those files?
    Or perhaps any other workflow that you guys would suggest.

    Best,

    Create a new bin with just the seq in it. Under bin display turn on show reference clips. The bin will now fill with master clips used in the sequence. Enable the offline column heading and sort by it. You now have all the offline clips in a group. Select them and drag to a new bin.thats your bin of offline clips. Remember to turn off show ref clips in the seq bin.

    Pat,

    Thanks so much. I was hoping for something this simple. On the other side, when I hand him this bin is there an equally simple way of gathering those files or does he have to go in and reveal file for everything and then copy paste?

    Best,

    The other side makes a sequence of the clips, then goes to do an AAF export of the sequence and select “copy” media to a folder via settings. This will eliminate the consolidate and creating .new clips. But consolidate is another method as well.
