The seemingly random order of transcoding is annoying, for sure. But
since nothing involving computers is really random unless you force it
to be, there probably is an order to the transcode that doesn't happen
to be obvious to the users. Maybe an engineer from Avid could drop us a
hint as to what that might be?
In the meantime, depending on how many files you're dealing with when
your transcode breaks, you may find it easier to pick up where you left
off via the following procedure:
1. Move your newly created transcodes to a separate bin and assemble a
sequence of them.
2. Relink that sequence to your original AMA media.
3. Select the relinked sequence and use 'select sources' which should
highlight the AMA media that was successfully transcoded.
4. Reverse the selection in your AMA bin, and you should be ready to
pick up the transcoding from where it failed.
Still cumbersome, but maybe less tedious than sorting through a long
list of clips, weeding out duplicate filenames.
