I think if you select the entire sequence and choose to transcode to DNxHD185X, it will only do the portions that are NOT DNxHD185X so you can then do a Same As Source export.

I don't mind since the Bars in this case are only for a visual audio-queue and not for reference, however, getting them dumped to 8bit is not what I expect here. Media Creation is set to 185 X btw.
