Avid NewsCutter XP User's Guide

Bins also contain references to some of the media files based on the
contents of the bin. NewsCutter XP does not maintain the entire
database in memory at all times. Instead, it builds up a partial
database for the bins that have been opened in the current session to
preserve as much memory as possible for editing.
If you store the master clips and the edited sequences for a project in
separate bins, there are two scenarios in which sequences might
appear to be offline. In this case, you need to load the entire database
to relink clips to their media files. The scenarios are:
• Rerecording: When you rerecord the master clips while the
sequences bin is closed, quit NewsCutter XP, restart the
application, and open the sequences bin only.
• Consolidating: When you consolidate the master clips and relink
them to the consolidated media while the sequences bin is closed,
quit NewsCutter XP, restart the application, and open the
sequences bin only.
To update offline sequences with the new media files:

need not load the media database more than once during a single editing
session because the database remains in memory until you quit the
application or restart the NewsCutter XP system.
If a bin continues to display the message Media Offline after
loading the media database, either the media files are missing or the
links have been broken. For more information, see “Relinking
Media Files” on page 329.
