Relinking project media

When you open a project, Catalyst Edit will prompt you to relink project media if the original clips cannot be found.

You can also use the Relink Project Media dialog to create a proxy-based workflow: create a project using lower-resolution proxy clips for efficient editing and then relink the proxy clips to their full-resolution versions before rendering or exporting your project. For more information, see "Rendering projects" or "Exporting projects."

  1. Open a project. For more information, see "Opening projects."

    If the clips used in your project are not found in their original locations, the Relink Project Media dialog is displayed.

    If you want to relink media manually, click the Project button in the main toolbar and choose Relink from the menu.

  2. For each clip, the Relink Project Media dialog displays the original clip and its linked clip.

    Click a folder path and browse to a new location to choose a new location for your source clips.

    Click Locate Folder or Locate File (if a clip is missing) or a clip's path and browse to a new file to choose a replacement file.

    Click the button to display the full path.

  3. Click Relink. The clips are replaced, and your project is updated.
