When linking media, you cannot remove the original source drive or camera card containing the media because your media will be labeled offline. True or False.

False

Not always

It depends on the drive

True

In Media Composer, linking uses references to the actual media files on their current location. Those files stay online only as long as the source drive or camera card is connected. If you remove that drive, Media Composer can’t find the files, so the linked media is shown as offline. That’s why the statement is true. To keep working without the original drive, you’d need to copy or consolidate the media to a new location (or relink once the files are back online). If you import the media instead of linking, it’s copied into the project’s storage and isn’t dependent on the original drive for playback.
