How to cancel the Link Media?

Report · Dec 06, 2019

Hello!

To explain my question, id like to explain my workflow and what is happening...

I work a lot with "Batch Process" feature to apply an effect in a group of clips. To find this group of clips, I select them in timeline, right-click, "Reveal Clips in Files Panel", drag them to Batch Process window and done. The thing is, when im working fast, sometimes it happens that I click accidentaly on "Link Media" option which is right bellow the "Reveal Clips in Files Panel", and when I click to Cancel (because I dont wanna link any media), all the selected clips changes the source media to the first one of the selected clips. And if I try to link the media, all the clips changes the source media to the one selected.

So, my question is, there is a way to the "Link Media" feature, when the operation is cancelled, to keep the clips as they are without changing the source media of them? Is it a bug of Audition?

Thank you!!

I don't think you can really call the program doing exactly what you asked it to a bug, exactly.... 😉

How about a different approach? It's quite easy to assign a keyboard shortcut to 'Reveal Clips in Files Panel' - if you open up the keyboard shortcuts box and type 'reveal' into its search facility, you'll find it (it's in the Clips menu). Using that instead should prevent the problem from happening in the first place!

Hey, Steve!

Thank you for the tip. Actually thats a good way to avoid clicking on "Link Media" accidentaly. The "bug" will still happen tho, if me or someone select a group of clips, select "Link Media", but then decide to Cancel. Hitting Cancel, I belive the clips should stay as they were before, but Audition, i dont know why, changes all clips.

Anyways, I have already set a shortcut for that to avoid this problem.

Thank you! 🙂
