1. Close project and hide the AVID media files so that AVID doesn't relink to the old transcoded media. Change the name to the AVID MediaFiles folder.

   Change from this
   To This
   Relink to the AMA volume that the raw .r3d files are on. Go to >File>Link to AMA Volume
   Locate the original raw .r3d red Files Click Open
   Use the settings "Bins Based on Current AMA Setting" Click OK

   
   All the AMA files will load up in a new folder when you choose the default settings.

   When ready to online reconnect to the .r3d files. Select all AMA FILES in the AMA folder Right click the sequence to relink and choose Relink
   Right click the sequence to relink and choose Relink >Managed Media
   Use the standard relinking options after the AMA media has been mounted Choose Selected Items in All open bins Choose to relink by Tape Name or Source file Name
   If that doesn't work choose Choose to relink by Tape Name or Source file ID
   Once the media in the timeline is relinked to the .r3d files the timeline should look yellow showing that the files are relinked to AMA media. The next step is to export the .aaf Go to >File > Export
   To create the .AAF file
   The deliverable will be the .R3D files and the .aaf for the color correction. Example shown here.
