Consolidate for redig
In the detailed instructions for consolidating a sequence I get everything except when it instructs you to delete the bin of clips that it creates in the new project with the consolidated media. On an AVID, I would delete the media and then simply redig the clips. I prefer to redig groups of clips from one tape at a time to control the process…without the clips, and just using the sequence and selecting Batch Redig the Sequence, it will begin asking for tapes, but if something happens along the way, it would be a pain to stop and continue. That is why the decompose feature is so great on the Avid. It creates offline clips to be rediged, with handles you specify.
So, can I go to the drive and delete the clips that were created in the consolidate, leaving the bin of clips except they would be offline, and then redig those clips. In theory it sounds like it would work.
I have 25 beta tapes to redig from…I’d rather redig from clips than just redig the whole sequence (video only).

I have been digitizing from the offline clips in the bin…once in a while a clip will say there is a duplicate and I have a chance to give the dupe a new name. FCP then digitizes two identical clips and you have to have them both on the hard drive or it becomes offline…even though it is the same video data. Not every clips does this and not sure why…no consistent reason.

Basically things went pretty good digitizing from the clips in the bin. A few of them had to be rediged twice, don’t know why. Had a lot of duplicate clip names which I skipped.
In the 12 minute sequence, many of the speed adjusted clips would barf on the dissolve out. Sometimes the clip would reverse in the middle of the dissolve. I took off the dissolve, replaced the clip, put the dissolves back on and things were perfect.
Not real elegant I must say, and Avid just wins this workflow battle hands frickin down!
