MXF Audio Relinking Issues (Partial Audio Relink)

Hello,

I'm pretty green when it comes to working with P2 and can't for the life of me figure out my current problem. Basically, I've pinpointed the issue to be this:

For whatever reason, some of my clips audio have gone offline partially. The media is definitely there in the Avid MediaFiles folder and Avid even points to it when I click Reveal File on the clips in question. The audio in the clips only plays for a portion of the entire clip, I assume this might have something to do with inpoints that were set when this media was on a previous system. I didn't consolidate when I moved the media, I simply copied over all of the MXF folder, so I'm not sure why the Avid is so convinced that these audio clips have a different Start time than the accompanying video clip. I have fumbled with this for hours, trying relink, even trying to copy over the original Audio MXF files from my backup drive, but it still doesnt want to relink all of the audio...

When I look at the audio media files in the Media Tool, they have a later start time than the Video file. Is there anyway I can modify the start time?

Any ideas?

Thanks so much.
 
I figured you had. I just had to ask the stupid question.

It almost sounds like you had some spanned clips that didn't get fully transfered over, but I don't understand why the video wouldn't go offline as well. Unless the video did get transfered and somehow the audio didn't. If that was the case, it would still point out the MXFs to you when revealing the file, since part of the media is there.

Did the audio work fully on another system before the transfer?
 
I was having the same problem and someone said to make sure your user permissions in windows were set to full allow. He walked me through changing it and then we restarted Avid and did a relink it worked.
