Re: [Avid-L2] Error transcoding AVCHD

Need confirmation on the following statement:

Just select all AMA clips and transcode. Avid knows which clips have
already been transcoded/consolidated. For transcode, make sure that
"Include reformatted clips are already at target resolution" is DESELECTED.
And for consolidate, make sure that "Skip media files already on the
target drive" is SELECTED.
