Hi,

I'm coming over from Final Cut world to learn Avid and I've run into a technical problem that I would know how to solve in the former, but have no idea what to do in the latter.

I imported some video, transoding it as MXF.  It was a small amount of B roll of a family wedding.  When I played it it had no audio and I assumed incorrectly that no audio was recorded.  I decided to use it for B roll, and reviewed a lot of it, placing locators at key spots.  Then I discovered that the original media had audio and I see in the text view that the audio is offline.  I've tried to relink, but it doesn't find it.  I don't know what happened to the audio files, if I had them go to a different drive by accident when the MXF media was originally created and that drive is missing or what I did. 

My question is whether or not there is a way to reimport the video, and relink the old clips -- which have the locators on them -- to the new media that's been created, or otherwise move those locators to the new clips.  I've imported one clip to try to see if it came in with audio and it has, but I'd love to not have to review it again to re input the locators.

In Final Cut this is simple.  You relink the media to whatever file you want.  You get a warning if the name is wrong or the length of the media and clip don't match, but you can also ignore the warning.  This is very useful, for example, if you want to review 5D H.264 material inside Final Cut, mark clips, then transcode only the video you need to Prores, and then relink the clips to the transoded files.

Any ideas for what I can do in MC?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Nevermind!  Easy solution.  Copy and Paste the locators.  Sweet.
