  Deleting Unused Media

  Posted by Jennifer Smith on October 4, 2006 at 2:00 am

  I’ve created a sequence by simpy editing from clips. I would like to strip away all media that wasn’t actually used to create the sequence. I tried using the Media Manager with the following settings:
  I chose: “Use existing media referenced by selected items.”
  I checked: “Delete unused media from selected items.”
  I chose: “Base media file names on existing file names.”
  Everything else remained unchecked. After it was done, I had to “reconnect the media”, but there appeared to be the same amount of space taken up on my hard drive. The clips appeared to reconnect to the entire captured original footage.

  Forgive me, I’m a newbie. Can anyone help me with this?
  Thanks!

  You Need to crate a new project… and tell it to either move or copy the media…

  Easier to go to a new drive.. then delete old media
