You can relink to clips of a specific resolution.

Select the unlinked object or objects in the bin.

Select Bin > Relink.

The Relink dialog box opens.

Select Relink Method > Specific Resolution.

Select an option from the "Relink if quality" pop-up menu, as described in the following table.

When you select an option from the "Relink if quality" pop-up menu, the text of the Unlink button changes, as shown in the following table. The button is selected by default.

Relink Specific Resolution Options

Option	Menu option	Dependent option
Relink if quality	Is greater than or equal to resolution	Unlink lower quality media
	Is equal to resolution	Unlink media that is not resolution
	Is less than equal to resolution	Unlink higher quality media

Select the Unlink option.

If you are working in an offline resolution and want to capture in a higher resolution, select Unlink to ensure that you recapture all the media at the higher resolution. You can check for offline media in the Timeline by selecting Timeline Fast menu > Clip Color > Offline, which displays offline clips in red.

Select a resolution from the Resolution pop-up menu.

The default resolution is determined by the current Media Creation setting for Capture. See Setting Media Creation Resolutions and Selecting Drives. If you select a different resolution in the Relink dialog box, the Media Creation setting does not change.

Select other Relink options as described in Relinking Media Files.

Click OK.

The system searches the selected media drives, and relinks clips and sequences if possible.
