In addition, the “trim unused media” options of the Copy or Move operations are now
compatible with clips that use codecs employing temporal compression, such as H.264, XAVC,
and AVC-Intra, enabling you to eliminate unused media for these formats during media
management without recompressing or transcoding.
Using Media Management
Using Media Management is simple.
To media manage clips and timelines in a project you’ve created:
1 Select the items you want to media manage, either clips or one or more Timelines.
2 Choose File > Media Management, and the Media Management window appears.
Media Management window
3 Choose the scope of the Media Management operation, shown at the top of the
window. You can choose to affect the Entire Project, only one or more Timelines, or
only Clips. What you had selected prior to opening the Media Management window
affects the scope that is selected when you open this window, but it doesn’t limit to
operation to only the selected items. So, if nothing was selected in the Media Pool,
then “Entire Project” is automatically highlighted. If any clips were selected, then
“Clips” is highlighted automatically. If any Timelines were selected, then “Timelines” is
highlighted. However, if for whatever reason the wrong option is highlighted, you need
only click the option you want to select it instead.
