This seems to have been a problem for many versions now and seems to never have been addressed.
Situation:
A sequence is mostly consolidated or transcoded but a few clips remain on another drive or AMA linked. Maybe the clips total a few seconds of footage and so should be tiny in terms of the space they take up on a workspace.
When I go to transcode (not consolidate) these clips, Avid is unable to correctly estimate the size needed on the target drive and instead of asking for a few GBs (which would represent the approx size needed to transcode the few clips), will ask for hundreds of GBs as if I were transcoding the whole sequence rather than just a few clips. It's been doing this for ages but I swear it used to be able to correctly figure out how much space was needed. (maybe version 4 and before?)
This is incredibly annoying when you have a full ISIS and need to juggle things around. Or even worse if you do not have the ability to scale your workspaces in size.
Do other people see this? It's a massive PITA.
I'm seeing this now on version 8.4.5 but I can remember seeing this in many previous versions.
Thoughts?
