Re-linking Deleted Raw Footage To Project File
Ok so my stupid friend deleted about 14 Gigs of Raw Footage Spread over 4 different files. I had previously edited the entire thing in Premier Pro. So what I am thinking is that maybe I could recapture those files then relink them all back to the project. Another problem on top of that is the tapes I have are not digital, they are High 8.
So do I have to perfectly recapture those tapes to the exact second as before so Premiere Pro will know they are the same file so they can be perfectly put back together? Or is there a simpler way of doing this?

Hi-8 camera using DV transport?
Premiere will allow you to relink to completely different AVIs (case in point: if you open the existing project and the original media isn’t there, you’ll be prompted with a dialog reading ‘Where is clip xxx?’, to which you can point it to anything you want). However, if you want your edits to line up correctly as before, you definitely need to recapture from your source with frame accuracy. If you did manual captures without device control, you’re in for a rough ride. But if your camera’s a Hi-8 camera that supports DV transport, you should be fine.
