Re-Import Will it relink?

[Marcus Vasques Osorio]

Hi all,

Am involved in long term feature film shot on RED & p2 here in Sweden which is just going to print. We are now on preparing for the DVD's extra, deleted scenes and bloopers etc... Unfortunately half of the mxf's and backup have been erased meaning half the clips are offline.

The video part I am pretty sure about, I sort the clips online/offline form original import. Re-import the material via proxies that are offline and bobs your uncle. My question is what do I do about p2 material and also about sound. The material that is offline for this, how do I re-import merge this.

Or am I tottally thinking wrong will this method work?

BTW: I sort the online/offline ascending, copy the files that are offline. From bin I create an ALE that I then change to a batch script to copy files to one folder which I then export proxies from via redrushes or similar. So all the ALE files will be made into proxies with the same name, meaning no problem on merging part.

Anyway any hints and tips would be appreciated especially with the P2 and sound...

Regards

Marcus

Hello marcus,
As it happen on the production I worked on, the R3D files had be arased from the drive and we sent it to a company doing recovery from HDD. They did recover the files, why don't you try that? Asyou know, it is always possible to recover files as long as the drive has not been through a thorough geleting

Hello mon amie

Hello mon amie

I hope all went well in your last production? I never hear anymore from the producer!!! Anyway it was the MXF's so I am not worried, the R3D's are all backed up to LTO + online in two other locations. So that is no the problem

Anyway I will be running re-link tests tommorrow
