Restoring Clip That Cannot Reference Part of a Clip

A clip will become a partial offline clip under the following conditions: when a portion that forms a clip containing a proxy cannot be referenced, when the proxy created with EDIUS cannot be referenced, or when a portion of the partially transferred clip cannot be referenced.

In EDIUS, you can proceed with “Proxy originated editing” in which you use a proxy source when editing, and replace it with a high-resolution source before final exporting. A proxy clip used in this proxy originated editing (a proxy clip with reference information in high-resolution) is a “temporary editing clip”. A temporary editing clip can be easily replaced with a high-resolution clip using the source browser.

Example:

Partial offline clip in the timeline

If there are partial offline clips or temporary editing clips on the timeline, icons and the total number of the offline clips, partial offline clips, and temporary editing clips (or untransferred clips) are displayed on the timeline status bar.

For P2, if a source file that only has a proxy (XML) is imported from the source browser, it will be recognized as an untransferred clip.

Note

  • If offline clips, partial offline clips, and temporary editing clips exist on the timeline when exporting the project to a file or when consolidating or checking out the project, a message is displayed. Restore the offline clips, partial offline clips, or temporary editing clips. Otherwise, they will be exported as offline clips.
