Thanks guys all of this is very helpful. I still haven’t figured out how to relink “media offline” files if the mxf files are clearly on the drive but the project can’t read them. What could be the problem? Solution?

Thanks!

Thank you Michael.

Do the Avid MediaFiles-folders need to be identical on both editors’ drives? If I add some footage on my end that the other editor does not need, will this mess up his ability to relink footage simply because the folder content is different?
He is having trouble relinking a couple of files even though the right media files are in his Avid MediaFiles-folder. Does the way AVID indexes the drive have something to do with this? That AVID just somehow does not see the files because it hasn’t indexed those clips? Is there a manual way to help AVID find those correct mxf files that need to link up to the sequence? In Final Cut, you can manually point to the file on the drive and relink it if FCP can’t find it on it’s own.

Great tip about renaming the MXF folders as you add footage.

Thanks again!

John
