Continuing the discussion from New in v 1.5: Generating a CORTEX Manifest file:
CORTEX Manifest Relink
If you start by importing a CORTEX Manifest, CORTEX will generate offline clips with all related metadata that simply need to be relinked to the corresponding media files.
To import a CORTEX Manifest file:
- Select Import
- Select Cortex Manifest
- Browse to the manifest file and click Open
Offline Media in Clip Bin
Offline Media in Player Window
Relink Via Media Import
- Select Import
- Select Media Files or Media Folder
- Browse to the target files and click Open
CORTEX will automatically relink the media to the clips created by the Manifest
Relink via Copy Tool
- Select New Copy Job
- Define your Source and Primary Destination (additional Destinations optional)
- Make sure the Import files to Clip Bin after Offload option is selected
- Start the Copy Job
CORTEX will automatically relink the media in the Primary Destination to the clips created by the Manifest
CORTEX Manifest Traceback
If you begin by importing media, you can later import a Manifest file and traceback through the existing media.
- Within the Clip Bin with existing media, select Import > Cortex Manifest
- CORTEX will open a Merge Metadata dialog with basic information about the traceback. Click OK to continue with the traceback
- CORTEX will open the Traceback dialog with a list of traced clips
- You can selectively apply metadata using the checkboxes in the bottom left corner
- New/updated metadata will be highlighted
- Click OK and CORTEX mill merge the Manifest and existing clips
