4.2.11. Changing the links to media files
As from ELAN version 2.4, the possibility exists to explicitly change the links to
media files that are linked from an *.eaf file. This option can be
handy if e.g. you have moved media files to another location after the last time you
edited an ELAN file.
Activating the Linked Files dialog (via ) will get you the following screen:
The following options are available on the Linked Media Files tab:
: add a link to a new media file to the current
*.eaffile: remove the selected media file
: specify a new location of the selected file. Especially useful if the checkbox is not marked. The latter indicates the media file could not be found while the ELAN file was opened (e.g. because the media files was moved).
: make the selected media file the Master Media
: indicate that a sound file has been extracted from a video file
: moves a file up/down in the linked file list. The file on top
automatically becomes the Master Media file. The audio file on the highest location
is displayed in the Waveform Viewer.
The Linked Secondary Files tab shows files that are linked as secondary files. In particular files that contain data that to be displayed by the Timeseries viewer (see Section 4.4.12) is found here, but other files may be linked as well. The following options are available:
: add a link to a new file to the current
*.eaffile: remove the selected file
: specify a new location of the selected file. Especially useful if the checkbox is not marked. The latter indicates the file could not be found while the ELAN file was opened (e.g. because the media files was moved).
: associate the file with another linked file.
