  Media Manager always includes master clips outside selection

  Posted by Nis Boye on July 2, 2006 at 10:00 am

  I’ve been using Media Manager i FCP 5.0.4 with great results for a while now.
  But suddenly it’s giving me trouble

  Even though I uncheck “include master clips outside selection” it insists on on copying all files in the project in their full lenght.
  Also the summary doesn’t change when I uncheck “include master clips outside selection”

  I put up a screendump https://nisboye.dk/FCP_MM.jpg

  I think the problem started after I recompressed a timeline to Offline RT

  I have also tried:
  1. opening the project on another computer, same problem.
  2. copying the timeline onto a new timeline, same problem

  Any tips on getting my Media Manger to work again?

  you could try trashing your prefs:

  in the short term if you copy the sequence into a new project you’ll be able to media manage OK.
  being in a new project, the copied sequence will have no ties to the master clips at all.

  Trashing the prefs didn’t help.
  Neither did copying the sequence in to a new project.

  But after I trashed the prefs one thing did happen: The modified size changed a little when I checked and unchecked “Include master clips outside the selection” – but not nearly enough.

  132 GB seem a little to much for a 100 minutes of DV footage…

  check your reel numbers in the reel column.

  for what ever reason there may be some clips that don’t have a reel#
  MM wont trim those clips.
  (MM believes they dont come from a tape source, and may be the only instances of that media in the universe)

  super!

  I gave the clips reel #, and now, there is no problem.

  Thank a lot
