Media Pool offline mode and consolidate
Hi there,
I love the Media Pool…
its the core of project organisation and its playback and metadata function are unmatched.But it shares the same problem i have with Scratch, the pure amount of data I am using makes it unusable sometimes.
For example, right now I am online a movie with 44 hours of Alexa clips…roughly 5000 of them loaded.
After assembling my 5 reels which works just fine I wish to clean it up a little.
At least i would like to delete all the clips not used by the conform.
When i use the Update Usage function i see that 80% of the clips are unused.
It takes almost 5 minutes for Resolve to update those numbers.
But when I then click on the usage field to sort by usage, Resolve hangs indefinitely.
One would think it just needs to sort the columns and it would happen in a blink of an eye.
But somehow it tries to access the media at this point or does something else that kills it.My real goal actually would have a function to Consolidate the used media into a new folder.
Like Scratch does on the project page.
Analyzing the content, creating a similar structure on disk and copying all files necessary from the network assemble to the local working disk.
Or in my case, from 5 TB to 1,5 TB 🙂A slice of color…

Some more info on this…
Using the Usage tab actually gave me an result after .. 20 minutes or so.
The next problem is deleting everything that has 0 uses.
Even when deleting only 3 files it hangs..
I guess its because it wants to sort em again.
Maybe someone with a long project can make a test like this to confirm.A slice of color…

Why not use “Add Folder Based on EDLs into Media Pool”?
-
Because it doesn’t work 😉
I have 5 EDLs and it only works the first time.
After there is media in the pool, the function doesnt add the missing files for the other EDLs.But I found a way around that freezing bug.
1. Load all media
2. Conform based on EDL or AAF
3. Update Usage
4. Sort by Usage
5. Select all 0 Usage files
6. Sort by name ( IMPORTANT)
7. Now delete selected files.If you miss point 6, it freezes.
