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. Clip that cannot refer to source will become an offline clip that video and audio are not displayed. The following section describes the method for supporting restoration of an offline clip.
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.
The offline clips on the bin and the timeline are displayed as below, and the video and audio are both muted during the playback.
