Relinking to Already Captured Material

If you import multiple AAF files that reference the same footage, you do not have to recapture the footage each time. Instead, you can relink the clip to media on the same reel.

To relink an imported AAF file to already recaptured clips:

1. After importing an AAF file, change the Library Reel to the reel where the media is located.
2. Click Relink.

   The clip is linked to media on the reel that is referenced in the AAF file.

3. If necessary, recapture any missing media. See Recapturing Media.
