    Relinking to replacement transcodes

    This might be a novice question, please bear with me. I'm assisting on a feature that's getting dailies via Avid Mediafiles - I.e. the DIT sends synced proxy media which we drag straight into the Avid bin.

    We recently realized one day's worth of footage has some corrupted/missing audio. The DIT is sending a new drive with replacement mediafiles, and I'll have to relink the corrupted media. (The corrupted media has already been subclipped into scenes and edited into the timeline.)

     In the past I've relinked to camera source files, but I've never relinked to replacement Mediafiles. Any tips or best practices on this? I've been in Premiere for a few years, so any extra details are appreciated. Thank you!

    Open two bins, the new footage sent that you want to relink, and the corrupted masterclips.

    Select the corrupted subclips, Then move onto the new footage and select them too. Make sure both are selected. Relink > Then at the top of the relink menu you will find an option called "relink selected items in all open bins" check that. Go down and relink by source clip name (or disklables if you have set them).

    I'd add that I'd remove the corrupted, no longer needed media first. So you clips show as offline before relinking. That way you can be sure the clips are linking to new media not the old media.
