Re: [Avid-L2] Consolidate/Transcode Question

I would think doing a 'Fast Import' or AMA/Consolidate would be the best
options here.

You shouldn't need to transcode unless you don't want it at 175.

For Fast Import: set Import Options to 601/709. For AMA/Consolidate, you
shouldn't have to set anything. Just Link to AMA file, right-click,
Consolidate.

Both of these options should result in the same thing: a rewrap from the
MOV to Avid MXF. So it should not take much longer than a straight file
copy.

If it is taking longer than normal, perhaps there's a slow disk in the way.
If you try a straight copy from the source to the destination, is it still
as slow?
