It’s in the export settings of the codec you’re choosing in Sorenson. Once you select the HQ (assuming H.264 or MPEG2..), you double click the preset to open up the parameters you can control for that particular codec. Sometime there will also be an ADVANCED tab. But usually at the top level you will see CBR (Constant Bit Rate), VBR (Variable Bit Rate), and how a selection for multipass. Multipass and VBR take longer, but can create better looking encodes depending on complexity of source footage.

Are you using a codec that allows for multiple pass and variable bit rate?

Depends on what you mean by coming out? As recorded, or over the HDMI? As recorded, 23.976p and 29.97p are the native frame rates. No pulldown. Unsure about the HDMI, but native for starters I would think.

Yes – if you’ve updated the firmware in the last 18 months or so, the camera is doing 23.976 and 29.97.

24.000 is typically used for feature film workflow where film is being shot at 24.000fps and audio is being imported and synced directly in Avid for post. Some studios prefer this as they need to deliver a movie theatrically first and the DCI spec is 24.000 and not 23.976 and they don’t have the time to QC all the stems for foreign and domestic when there is a sample rate conversion involved.
Television and other video related projects in NTSC based countries will shoot and record at 23.976. Indie films are done at 23.976 and will do a pullup later with SRC for a DCI if needed, but usually they have time to do so – not the big studio films with day and date releases and they are editing and mixing up to the last minute.

With version v5.5 you can right click->source settings and set levels for QT files to be stretched to graphic levels, constrained to video levels, or remain untouched.

I would suggest downloading the free 30 day trial from https://www.avid.com and test for yourself. There is no better way than actually running it to know for sure!

In your scenario, the relink to selected should work as both IMPORT and AMA link to out the source file name in the SOUCE FILE column. Hilight all the good looking imports and the sequence and do “relink to selected” in the relink menu.

I have already contacted them, and they (BMD) are looking into it.

Once the .sync clip is in the source monitor, turn off the V track and do matchframe again (on the source side).
