    Hey I posted before but didnt get working results.
    Okay I will try to make this short.

    I have a sequence that is media offline that wont relink but the source media files are online in the bin!!. Im assuming the reason is because I consolidated the media files without deleting the original. The new files went on a drive that went bad and couldnt retrieve any data. The originals were safe on another drive. However, the sequence contains the consolidated files that were on the bad drive. Even though the same exact media is in the bin online. when I try to do a relink it wont recognize anything I guess. I hope I explained this well.

    PLEASE HLEP IM PULLING MY HAIR OUT!!!

    The sequence should still relink. Is multicam involved? If so, try decomposing A COPY of your sequence and try relinking that.
