  • a way to get rid of excess captured footage? (without affecting timeline)

    Posted by Yellowbear on September 15, 2006 at 8:39 pm

    Hi guys (and gals)
    Newbie here!
    Is there a way to discard all of the unused footage from a project but keep what you have actually used on the timeline incase you want to add to it at a later date?
    I’ve tried the manuals and everything and I just cant figure it out! I have exported to dv etc but I want to keep it all on the timeline so I could change it around at a future date.

    Is this possible?

    Well if it isnt it should be!

    Any help/suggestions would be so much appreciated, my computer is full on un-used footage!

    Look up MEDIA MANAGER in the index and read up on that. It will lay out how to do what you are asking.

    Yep. Media Manager is the way to go. Just click the sequence you want to move and right (control) click it and select media manager. Important note here though, when moving files in MM, ALWAYS use the “Copy” option NOT the “Move” option. If you crash halfway through a move it will be a nightmare. If you want to move and not copy your project, copy it first and then just delete the original.
