All the way at the bottom of the screen

Choose Link NOT Import

 

Select your target Bin and choose LINK again

Click on the Red X to close the source browser

Select all of the clips in the bin to transcode

 

 

NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD SELECT YOUR HARD DRIVE AS THE DESTINATION DRIVE TO 

SAVE YOUR TRANSCODED FILE NOT TEMPSTORAGE AS SHOWN HERE

With the file selected in the bin

>Go to >Clip >Consolidate/Transcode

Choose Transcode

 

Choose your Hard Drive as the Target Drive

 

Choose the Target Video Resolution as Apple ProRes (Proxy)

 

 

Choose to convert the audio to 48 KHz and 24 Bit

 

 

Then choose to Transcode to get the process going

The files will take a while to transcode but after that you can start editing with the transcoded file (it will have.new.)

You can then delete the clip with the chainlink icon.

Select the clip and press the delete key on your keyboard and choose to delete master clip

Make a new sequence to edit the clips

Timeline > New > Sequence

The timeline will by "default" make a timeline with two mono audio tracks but we'll need a  stereo

Audio track to edit OMID into

 

So select the audio tracks DO NOT Select V1

by clicking on A1 and A2 and click "Delete" on the keyboard

See frame grab showing the A1 and A2 selected with V1 not selected 

Confirm you want to delete the tracks

 

Now the OMID transcoded audio will edit into the stereo timeline



 
 
That is it your media should open in the project and you can edit.
