Transcoding AMA Master Clips after editing

has begun
Before Transcoding all of your files after editing has begun, it is a very good idea to perform a
small-scale test of the process to familiarize yourself with any additional options and results.
Additional options include, but are not limited to, Debayer settings (found in the Media
Creation settings) for RED footage, which also need to be configured. Ideally, you would
be able to perform your small-scale test before receiving the mission-critical files and
prior to the intensity and pressure of working under a deadline.

When you Transcode Master Clips, Media Composer automatically makes new Master Clips
(with the .new extension), and those new clips will not link to a sequence that was created
from them automatically. So, you'll have to make the sequence link to the new Master
Clips with a process called Relinking.

Getting ready
The steps given in the How to do it... section presume that:

ff You have begun to edit

ff You have already followed the steps in the recipe Transcoding AMA Master Clips
before beginning to edit
ff You now have a bin(s) with new, Transcoded Master Clips

How to do it…
The following are the steps for Transcoding after editing has begun:

1. Open all the bins that contain the .new Transcoded clips.
2. Open the bin containing your sequence.
3. Select all the .new Transcoded files in all of the open bins.
4. Select your sequence.
5. Go to Clip menu | Relink. (You may also right-click on the selected sequence.)
