Reimporting Files
If you are working with master clips or sequences that contain imported material, you can use the Batch Import command to reimport the imported files. For example, you might want to create new media files when the media files are lost or accidentally deleted.

Reimporting requires your original source file. Do not delete the media
files for imported files if the source files are no longer available unless
you will not need the material again.

The Batch Import command allows you to reimport the imported files while automatically linking the new imported material with the original master clips and sequences. When you play your sequence after reimporting the files, the new imported material plays in your sequence.
When you reimport a media file, the entire media file, including all tracks, is reimported. For example, if only the video track of an imported file that contains both video and audio was edited into the sequence, the reimport process imports both the video and audio from the source file.

OMFI files can contain only one master clip when you reimport them.
