Restoring Source Link

If a source used in EDIUS is moved/deleted, the link between the source and EDIUS is lost, and the source cannot be referred from the clip. Clips that cannot refer to sources will be offline clips whose video and audio are not displayed. The following section describes the methods for supporting restoration of offline clips.

If there are offline clips on the timeline, an icon to indicate the presence of offline clips and the number of the offline clips are displayed on the timeline status bar.
