  • PPCC – Is there any way to link to unmatched filenames.

    I won’t even try to explain why I gotta do this but I just gotta do it.

    Is it even possible to relink a clip to a file (exact copy) that has a very different name?

    Thanks

    This can be done manually.

    If the exact copy has identical reel and timecode info that could be automated.

    yep. One of the first things I tried was linking to reel & timecode. no dice, wouldn’t link it even though the file was clearly there and the reel & timecode matched up.

    no worrys, I got em all linked manually and am cutting now.

    thank you for the replys Tero.
