The Pool
Deleting clips
Removing clips from the Pool
To remove a clip from the Pool without deleting it from the
hard disk, proceed as follows:
1. Select the clip(s) and select “Delete” from the Edit
menu (or press [Backspace] or [Delete]).
A prompt asks whether you want to move the clip to the Trash or remove
it from the Pool.
• If you try to delete a clip that is used by one or more
events, the program will ask you whether to remove these
events from the project.
If you cancel, neither the clip nor the associated events are deleted.
2. In the window that opens, select “Remove from Pool”.
The clip is no longer associated with the project, but still exists on the hard
disk and can be used in other projects, etc. This operation can be undone.
Deleting from the hard disk
To delete a file permanently from the hard disk, it must first
be moved to the Trash folder:
1. Follow the instructions for deleting clips above, but
click the Trash button instead of the Remove from Pool
button.
Alternatively, you can drag and drop clips into the Trash folder.
2. On the Media menu, select “Empty Trash”.
A warning message is displayed.
3. Click “Erase” to delete the file on the hard disk perma-
nently.
This operation cannot be undone!
Ö To retrieve a clip or region from the Trash folder, drag
it back into an Audio or Video folder.
Removing unused clips
This function finds all clips in the Pool that are not used in
the project. You can then decide whether to move them to
the Trash folder (from where they can be permanently de-
leted) or to remove them from the Pool:
1. Select “Remove Unused Media” on the Media or con-
text menu.
A message appears asking you whether you want to move the file to the
Trash or to remove it from the Pool.
2. Make your selection.
Removing regions
To remove a region from the Pool, select it and select “De-
lete” from the Edit menu (or press [Backspace] or [Delete]).
Ö For regions there is no alert if the region is used in the
project!
Locating events and clips
Locating events via clips in the Pool
If you want to find out which events in the project refer to a
particular clip in the Pool, proceed as follows:

2. Select “Select in Project” on the Media menu.
All events that refer to the selected clip(s) are now selected in the Proj-
ect window.
Locating clips via events in the Project window

event in the Project window, proceed as follows:

in Pool”.
The corresponding clip(s) are located and highlighted in the Pool.

other project!
