When you consolidate media files, the system finds the media files or portions of media files associated with selected clips, subclips, or sequences. It then makes copies of them and saves the copies on a target drive that you specify. Because the Media tool displays only master clips, you cannot consolidate subclips or sequences with the Media tool. You can consolidate master clips, subclips, and sequences in the bin.

You can also use the Transcode option to create a playable sequence from clips that have different target resolutions.
