This frees up the P2 cards and allows you to edit from your hard drive. Select the media files and then click bin. On the drop down menu select Consolidate/Transcode. The Consolidate/Transcode dialog box will open. Here you select Consolidate and designate the target hard drive. Select your options and then click consolidate. Your media files will then be copied to your designated hard drive. Editing this material from the hard drive is now identical to editing all other types of media in Avid.
