Re: [Avid-L2] Can't rid my sequence of AMA clips

Can you not open a copy of the partially transcoded sequence in a 23.98
project, and continue the transcode...making sure to check "skip media
already on target volume".

Then bring that back into your main project.

And for the love of God, make sure your dicklabels are accurate.
