Relinking Multiple Missing Files
Using the Find Links button, multiple files can
be matched and linked in one procedure.
To relink multiple missing files:

Configure Areas to Search. (See “Selecting Ar-
eas to Search” on page 192.)
2
Select one or more items in the Files to Relink
list. The Find Links button becomes available.

Click Find Links.

Configure criteria for relinking, if necessary, in
the Linking Options dialog:
• By default, Find by Name and ID is en-
abled.
• To add additional matching criteria, select
an option from the Linking Options dialog.
(Modification Date is only applicable to
Catalogs.)
• If Match Duration is enabled, Pro Tools
only selects files of the same length or
greater .

Click OK to continue (or click Cancel to re-
turn to the Relink window).
Pro Tools begins to search for an acceptable can-
didate for the first missing file (the first item se-
lected in the Files to Relink list). A link icon ap-
pears next to each file as Pro Tools finds and
links the first acceptable candidate to the miss-
ing file. The Link Path column shows the loca-
tion of the selected candidate. Pro Tools contin-
ues searching, matching, and linking for each
missing file in the Files to Relink list.

To view the selected candidate for a particular
missing file, select to highlight the missing file.
That file’s candidate appears in the Candidates
pane, where you can view its file information
and waveform.
QuickTime video clips can only be relinked
to a session by file name and file format
(QuickTime).
To control matching and linking criteria
when relinking an individual missing file,
use the Find Links button. Find Links is ex-
plained in “Relinking Multiple Missing
Files” on page 193.
