Relink Rescue

Turn "offline media" into a structured relink instead of a scavenger hunt

Projects go offline after moving drives, renaming folders, or mixing proxy and original relinks. This recipe builds a file index across your search roots, suggests path mappings, warns about proxy mismatches, and gives you editor-specific steps to complete the relink.

PROMPT

Create a skill called "Relink Rescue". Ask me for: - old_root_path (or old volume name) - one or more search_roots - whether proxies exist, and their proxy_root path Then: 1) Scan/search for candidate matches by filename. 2) Produce a mapping CSV with confidence scores. 3) Warn if matches are likely proxies. 4) Give me editor-specific steps to complete relinking.

How It Works

This skill indexes filenames across the drives or folders you point it at, matches them

against your offline clips, and produces a relink map with confidence scores. It flags

candidates that live under a proxies folder so you don't accidentally relink to the wrong

media tier.

What You Get

  • File index built across all provided search roots
  • Relink map (CSV) with offline clip name, suggested path, and confidence score
  • Proxy warnings when matches live under a `PROXIES/` folder
  • Optional symlink plan to recreate old folder paths (macOS/Linux)
  • Editor-specific relink steps for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro

Setup Steps

  1. Provide the old root path (or old volume name) your project expected
  2. Add one or more search roots where your media now lives
  3. If proxies exist, specify the proxy root path so it can be deprioritized
  4. Run the skill and review the mapping CSV before relinking in your NLE

Tips

  • The relink map is reusable — save it for the next time the project moves
  • When multiple matches exist, the skill prefers originals over proxies by file size
  • Symlink plans are useful when you can't rename drives but need the old paths to resolve
  • Run Proxy-to-Original Integrity Check after relinking to confirm you're on full-res media

Proxy Factory

Auto-generate proxies the moment footage lands

Choppy playback, laggy scrubbing, and unusable timelines — even on strong machines — often comes down to editing long-GOP or heavy codecs at high resolution without proxies. This recipe generates proxies automatically whenever new camera originals appear, so every project starts edit-ready instead of debug-ready.

Proxy-to-Original Integrity Check

A pre-export gate that prevents accidentally delivering proxies

You finish a cut in proxy mode and later discover the export or grading pass used proxy media instead of originals. Quality loss, wrong color decisions, and a wasted delivery. This recipe adds a repeatable pre-export check so you never ship from the wrong media tier.
