First, you need to make sure you have all your tapes and sources (music CD’s, external graphics, etc).
Copy (ctrl D) your sequence. Make a new bin (I call mine decomposed) and drag the copy of your sequence into the new bin. Right click and select ‘decompose’. In the dialog box, deselect ‘offline media only’. If you have any grouped clips in your sequence, decide if you want to redigitize all clips in a group or not. I generally do not, but if you are working with a flakey client, you might want to have the option. Hit OK. You’ll get a message saying something to the effect all your clips will be relinked to the new sequence – say (or click, or both at the same time) OK. You’ll get new clips in your bin. Open your digitize tool and make sure your resolution is set to what you want (it defaults to the last rez you used, so this is one of the ‘gotcha’s). Select clip>batch capture. Get your assistant editor to feed the machine tapes while you get a double whipped latte and schmooze with the next client. If you have any titles, you can select ‘recreate title media’ (I’m not sure where it is – in the clip menu? I’m at home…)
