You shold have no problems.
I mean, when i make Batch Import, my secuence its usually offline cause i work 20:1 and the final cut its on 1:1.
Even when the graphics are online,but 20:1, and i make batch import with another resolution everithing works perferct. Without consolidate, and only like that.
Also whe the projects are from another AVID.
Now i work in a ADRENALINE HD and i import projects from a XPRESS DELUXE and also XPRESS DV, and always everithing works. (Everithing on PC)
MAybe you have to make a copy of the secuence and take it to a new bin.
Goodluck!!!!
