Clip/Still automatic linkage

[MikeA]

I am not getting automatic clip linkage like I used to. I think this was a problem latterly with VS 8.5, but today I found the same issue with VS 9. What happened to me was that my video disk crashed and I have reorganized my projects since. As expected, VS can't find the clips and stills etc. So I relink one clip, but other clips or stills in the same folder are not automatically relinked. Manually relinking every clip/still in a project gets old fast. Am I doing something wrong? Have I missed setting an option? Is there a trick to this? Seemed to work fine and efficiently before for me. Help appreciated.

try re linking one of them close the project file out and re open. that has always worked for me in the past.

Did not work for me. Tried closing project and closing VS. Neither did anything. I see that Smart Search is checked. I guess it ain't so smart anymore.

hi Mike

my fix is the same as Grahams, restart the project, then link to the clip being shown on the re-link window.

make sure the name of the clips are exactly the same, if for some reason the images have been re-named then you will have to re-link each clip.

it should do automatically, there must be a reason why not?

Installed VS 9 Service Pack 1 today and files now link. Have not tested other issues yet.

Hi Mike

Have you purchased the Boxed / Disc version

Go to Help – About what is the version number?

The SP1 only installs on the disc version.
But interested to know if re-link issues are fixed with that service pack.

The service pack will not install for the download version.
