Deleting Media – Rendered Colour Effects still there
Hi,
I am deleting media in Avid Media Composer using a combination of deleting from bins and using the media tool. Our media is stored on an Edit Share system but it pretty much acts as a normal hard drive.
My problem is that some EDLs have had colour effects rendered throughout, either on the clips themselves or as a top layer of graded Filler. When I delete all the media the EDL remains Online, though you can’t match frame anymore (it says it’s offline) but I can see and play all the graded material. The Media tool is coming up completely empty yet the footage is clearly still somewhere.
Any ideas how to delete the remaining rendered footage?
Thanks
Alex

You’re seeing the renders that are left over, which is why your matchframe says offline.
Open the Media Tool and choose to show Precomputes only. If there are any, delete them. If there aren’t, try using a tool like MDV to fine the orphan and online render files.

It’s a Russian site, but the program is in English. It’s invaluable, in my opinion. I use it to backup and delete all my Avid projects.

Thanks Michael,
now does this fall under the ‘love the Avid’ bracket of glitches 😉
Is this bit of software ok to download do you think? Just got to be careful I don’t get any viruses on this machine (I’m sure you’ve already thought of that but I’m just checking!)
Thanks again

I’ve been using it since the day it was first released.
To be completely safe, download it on another system and run a virus scanner on it. When it passes that, install it on your Avid system.
The beauty of the system is that it’s a self contained standalone app–it doesn’t install stuff all over your OS. Mine is just an icon that sits on my desktop–delete the Icon, delete the program.
