Deleting Clips and Media Files
3. Select the media objects that you want to delete:
Select only “Delete 1 master clip(s)” to delete only the clip, which
contains important metadata such as its start and end timecodes.
The clip is removed from the bin, but the media remains on the
external drives. When you do this, you will have unreferenced media
(orphan files) stored on your media drives. These files do nothing but
waste storage space. Therefore, you should rarely select this option.
Select only “Delete 3 associated media file(s)” to delete only the
captured picture and sound associated with the clip. The master
clip is retained, and you can bring the media online later using
batch capturing, batch importing, or AMA based on the clips’ time-
code information. The clip will remain in your bin with all its statisti-
cal information; however, if you load the clip in the Source monitor,
it will be displayed with the Media Offline label.
Select both check boxes to delete both the clip (with its statistical
information) and its associated media files. You should select this
option only if you are positive that you will not need the clips in the
future. You cannot undo the deletion of media files. Make sure that
no one else will need the media files you are planning to delete,
and make sure no other project is using these media files.
NOTE The Resolutions
to Delete area lists the
resolutions for the clips
you selected. Select the
resolution you want to
delete, or select all of
them by clicking the All
button. If the clip has
separate media files for
audio and video, you can
delete one or the other
based on resolution.
