Media Manager and DV Start/Stop
So here is my question, if I capture an entire tape and use the dv start/stop detection is ther a way to use the media manager to create separate media files on my hard drive for each of the segments? and if there is how would I do that?

Sure. Just delete unused media. There is a HOW TO article on kenstone.net

nate,
media manager will not work for this.
it WILL work if you have trimmed or shortened the clips.
then you can use Media Manager and delete unused as Kevin suggests.but Media Manager does this thing…
if it sees 2 clips that share a frame, or even SHARE AN ADJACENT FRAME it will combine both clips into one file.
So if you capture a tape, use DV start stop & makes subclips,
a media manage will just copy the master file, and give it the name of your first subclip
nothing else.
you could media manage every SECOND clip, and it would work.
but to get all the subs, you;d have to manage all the even numbered ones in one operation,
then all the odd numbered ones.
not going to happen!the way to do it is to use BATCH EXPORT
https://www.lafcpug.org/tutorials/basic_batch_export.html
Batch Export only works from the browser, not the timeline.
select al the item you want to export, or the folder they are in,
File Menu > Batch Exportmake self contained, use in/out
this will create new, self contained files which you;d then import back into FCP.
you’re then free to delete the original; file.cheers,
nick
