HD onlining, delete unused media within clips?
is it possible to delete media (not used in a sequence) from a clip (in the sequence) that is now offline? or a way to create offline from sd version that will do the same thing?
thankyou

Yes, use media manager to make a new project It is quite well explained in the reference books how to take ony the media used.
One problem, beware of nests. Conform the nests in a timeline first as they loose the original timecode reference.
If you have a problem with a clip not being ‘trimmed’ then use media manager on that.Hope that helps, if anybody has a better solution, I’d like to know too!

There appears to be a bug in FCP 5 and 5.02 Media Manager that effectively limits the functionality of MM’s “delete unused footage” to footage that is online. If you footage offline, i.e. not on the drives, the MM process doesn’t work. You can view some lengthy threads regarding this in the past month here on the Cow. This was a bug back in FCP v3 but was fixed with an update. The 5.02 update has not yet fixed this problem. FCP 4 and 4.5 do not have this limitation. For this reason I keep a separate drive on my system with FCP 4.5. I online quite a few shows for broadcast. The client usually sends me the project file which I MM. They also ship the taped from which to capture. This would no longer be possible with FCP 5. Ouch, that would really hurt our company if we couldn’t online.
