    Prelude mass relink possible?

      Hello there and thanks for taking the time to read my question.

       

      I have a project which has been delivered to me on a external USB drive. It contains about 3000 source files and a prelude project with subclips and rough cuts.

       

      After i received the external hard drive, i proceeded to copy its full contents to my work computer. After that, i opened up the prelude project file - and every single file out of the 3000 is offline. Their path still points to the external hdd (file path is "/Volumes/(nameofvolume)/ext..." while it should be F:/(nameofvolume)/ect...).

       

      To me, all i seem to be able to do is relink them by hand, one by one. I'd really love to hear about a workaround or maybe a functionality in prelude that would intelligently fix multiple file locations. Otherwise, well, relinking 3000 files most of which are in deep, deep folder structures... doesnt sound like too much fun.

       

      Thanks in advance guys!

          If anyone is looking for this answer: If you select multiple clips and relink them, Prelude seems to do a good job of intelligently relinking most files based on the files you locate manually. Just remember to select all offline clips for this to function best.

            Thanks MikaV84 this worked for me in 2014 version.

             

            For some reason, in a Rough Cut, the Subclips can be offline even if the same Subclips are viewable and apparently connected in the Project window.

             

            Though I can only shift click each clip to select multiple subclips in the timeline, I have not worked out how to lasso the lot.
