Minimizing Files
You can minimize the audio les according to the size of the audio clips referenced in the project.
The
les that are produced using this option only contain the audio le portions that are actually
used in the project.
This can signicantly reduce the size of the project if large portions of the audio les are unused.
Therefore, the option is useful for archiving purposes after you have completed a project.
IMPORTANT
This operation permanently changes the selected audio les in the Pool. This cannot be undone.
If you only want to create the minimized audio les as a copy, leaving the original project
untouched, you can use the Back up Project option.
NOTE
Minimizing les clears the entire edit history.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Pool window, select the les that you want to minimize.
2. Select Media > Minimize File.
3. Click Minimize.
After the minimizing is nished, the le references in the stored project become invalid.
4. Do one of the following:
To save the updated project, click Save Now.
To proceed with the unsaved project, click Later.
RESULT
Only the audio portions that are actually used in the project remain in the corresponding audio
les in the Pool Record folder.
