Well, that saved me 37 Gigs of back-up space.
Thankyou Nick!

Both your suggestions solved the issue.
You were absolutely right about reel numbers. It was the clips without reel numbers that didn’t “trim the fat” and the ones with reel numbers did.

And the additional step of creating an offline also worked.

Many thanks, I have no more excuses for not backing up all my projects.

And just another thing, I was paid a lovely visitor the other night by burglar who took a fancy to my old Powerbook. Yes it was time to upgrade and no, not everything on there was back uped recently. I have a lost a huge chunk of my life. Huge.

Back Up today !!!!
