6. In the Relink window, enable the selection that says Selected items in ALL
open bins.
7. At the bottom of the window, make sure to enable the check box that says Create
new sequence and click on OK.
8. At the completion of this process, a new sequence will be created with the text
Relinked at the end. This sequence is now linked to the Transcoded clips. If you
load the sequence into the Timeline, you'll see that the clip names will also have
the .new extension on them.

Consolidating an AMA sequence or subclips


Before consolidating a sequence, it is very highly recommended that you perform a small test
of the process on an unimportant sequence to familiarize yourself with additional options
and results. Additional options include, but are not limited to, Debayer settings (found in the
Media Creation settings) for RED footage, which also need to be configured. The steps of this
recipe focus on only one specific result.

Consolidating a sequence or subclips simply means you'll be making copies of only the
portions of media files that are being referred to by your sequence or by the subclips.
Essentially, Media Composer will take each shot used in the sequence, or each subclip, and
make a brand new Master Clip for it.

You'll have the option to add handles. Handles are additional media added to the head and
tail (beginning and end) of the new Master Clips that are not currently being used/seen/heard
in the sequence or subclips. Handles are helpful in case, after Consolidating, you need to do
some trimming within a sequence or need to add a transition effect like a dissolve.

You'll also have the option to delete the original media after the Consolidate (copy) process
is completed. Deleting the original source media would be helpful with a sequence if you had
completed all of your editing and wanted to save drive space, or with subclips, if before you
began editing you only wanted to keep portions of Master Clips. On the other hand, one use
of not deleting the original media would be if you wanted to give a coworker a copy of your
sequence or a portion of a clip to work with.

Getting ready
Before consolidating a sequence, it is always a very smart idea to make a backup copy of
the sequence and place it into its own well-labeled bin (for example, My Movie Before
Consolidate). This extra version will not only protect you in case you make an error, but
will help keep your project organized for future reference (not to mention bring you additional
peace of mind).
