Re: [Avid-L2] Lavc57.24.102 netflixprores 3840_2160 What is this codec that I can ama but not transcode or consolidate?

So I played around and a tried a "save as" and an export in QTPro 7 but neither worked.  The files still ended up with the Lavc... codec.  Running the files through Adobe Media Encoder seems to do the trick.  Then I just relink the ama master clips in the Avid bin to the new clips.  I tried consolidating one of the master clips and it worked so I figure now I can just relink all the ama clips to the AME washed files and then consolidate with handles the sequence.  What a silly pain.

 Here's a quirk I found.  After using AME to make compliant proreshq copies in a different folder and then relinking the ama clips to the new folder when I went to "consolidate only linked media" the first thing Avid did was relink back to the original files in the original folder.  I ejected the drive with the original files and then I could consolidate with out it relink to the original files.  I get that having both sets of files out there is dangerous but after manually relinking to the new files I didn't expect to have it automatically revert to the original files.  That's creepy on one level but I sort of see the logic.  It's like when changing soft metadata in a bin it doesn't necessarily stick to the clip until that clip get consolidated.
