7. Specify the path for any entries as required by clicking the Path field of the entry.
8. Optional: In the Import field, select SOFT if you want to soft-import the files. See About Soft-Import.
9. Optional: Select an alternative file in the File Name field of the entry.
10. Optional: Associate a LUT with the selected video file. In the LUT Type field, select 1D LUT, 3D LUT, or Gamma correction. Select a LUT in the LUT field for the entry. See Applying a LUT on Import or Export.
11. Optional: If you want to generate proxies of the media in the background, enable Background Proxies.
12. From the File list, select the file entries that you want to reload.

    If you are reloading all the clips, you do not need to select any entries.

13. Click Import Selected Files or Import All Files.

    The files are loaded.

14. View the loaded files in the Recapture Viewer to make sure the files were loaded successfully.
15. Enable Auto Render if you want to re-render all timeline soft effects.

    This is done during the relink process executed in the next step.

16. Optional: If the material needs to be soft-resized, enable Soft Resize.

    This is useful, for example, when importing a 720x486 clip into a 720x480 project. See Resize.

17. Click Relink to relink the captured media with the unlinked clips.

    The specified files are linked with the unlinked clips. If Auto Render was enabled, timeline soft effects are re-rendered.

18. Click Exit Recapture to return to the clip library.

    The reel specified in the Library Reel box contains a clip with the relinked media and the recaptured sources.
