Relinking library media

Relinking allows you to relink media files within a library when you move a library to a different drive or use media from an external drive.


  1. Open a library. For more information, see "Creating or opening a library."

  2. In the Places pane, click the Library button and choose Relink from the menu.

  3. For each clip, the Relink Clips 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.

  4. Click Relink. The paths to the library clips are replaced, and your library is updated.
