What should you do to continue editing while transcoding or consolidating?

Choosing to "Run in the Background" is the correct approach to continue editing while transcoding or consolidating. This option allows the transcoding or consolidation processes to occur simultaneously with your editing tasks. By running the process in the background, you can keep your workflow uninterrupted, enabling you to focus on editing your project without having to wait for the completion of these processes.

This is particularly useful in a non-linear editing environment like AVID Media Composer, where efficiency and time management are essential. Being able to work on your edits while other tasks are being processed helps maintain productivity, especially on projects with heavy media requirements.

In contrast, options like "Finish Editing" and "Stop Editing" would hinder your ability to work on your project, while "Pause Transcoding" would halt the transcoding process, which is not ideal if you want to optimize your editing time.
