Consolidating a sequence. Left: the original clips and their media files — consolidating breaks the links between the
sequence and these clips. Right: the new clips and their copied media files — the sequence now links to these new
clips.
Using the Consolidate Command
To consolidate master clips, subclips, or sequences:
1. If you are consolidating a sequence, duplicate the sequence to maintain links to the original
files, if necessary, and render any unrendered effects.
2. Select a clip or sequence.
3. Select Clip > Consolidate/Transcode.

If you have any compressed audio (MP2 audio) in the clip or sequence you selected to
consolidate or transcode, a message appears informing you that selected items contain MP2
audio and cannot be consolidated or transcoded. You should relink this MP2 audio to an
uncompressed audio format. If you do not relink to an uncompressed audio format, the selected
clip or sequence with the MP2 audio is skipped.
The Consolidate/Transcode dialog box opens.
