Thanks Michael.

As it stands, I can’t seem to find any combination of settings which will let me work with these clips without rendering new audio tracks for each one. A 212GB ProRes 422 HQ file with 24-bit 48k audio will take “about 11 hours” for Media100 to come to terms with its audio. Because I am unwilling to spend that much time, disk space, and disk I/O on render churn, I’m not sure Media100 will work for this project.

It might be worth noting: if I “Stop” the audio track import, I can still work with the clip in the edit window, but if I drag it into a program, it only has as much audio as Media100 rendered before I hit stop.

Having worked with many other Mac audio and video programs, I imagine what’s going on may be one of the following: (1) Media100 doesn’t want to work with multiplexed audio/video files and needs audio to be in their own separate stem files, or (2) Media100 doesn’t like that the audio streams are 24-bit and is converting them to 16-bit.

Thanks again
