Next attempt to modify the video tracks down to 1 or 2 tracks if possible.
Go to the hard drive that all your AVID Media is on and hide the media
Hide the AVID media files so that AVID doesn't relink to the old transcoded media. Change the name to the AVID MediaFiles folder.

Back in AVID Project OPEN all the bins in AVID that have your linked files that you used to transcode the camera originals to make the media in your avid project for offline |

Change the timeline Clip Color to show AMA clips as a different color so you can make sure you are linked to the "Native" ProRes .mov QuickTimes |
|
Offline will by default be RED so that is how we'll check if we have any offline media |

Back in AVID Next change your project settings to Avid Media Composer > Preferences > Choose the Format Tab |
|
Choose the Format Tab > Change the project to Ultra HD> UHD 23.98 if it is not already set to that NOTE most of you shot in UHD or 1080 but check the raw footage files to make sure you know what format you shot and make sure that the AVID project is set to that. |
