Menu Reference
Conform Files…
This will change all selected files that have different file at-
tributes to what is specified for the project, to conform to
this standard.
Generate Thumbnail Cache
This generates a thumbnail cache of the video, used for
display in case of strained computing resources.
Create Folder
This allows you to create a new audio or video subfolder.
Empty Trash
To delete a file permanently from the hard disk, it must first
be moved to the Trash folder. When clips are in the Trash
folder they can be removed permanently by using this
command.
Remove Unused Media
This function finds all clips in the Pool that are not used in
the project, and either moves them to the Pool Trash folder
where they can be permanently deleted, or removes them
from the Pool.
Prepare Archive…
This command should be used when you want to archive a
project. It checks that every clip referenced in the project
is located in the same folder.
Set Pool Record Folder
This is used to designate a new Pool Record folder. Se-
lect the folder, and choose this command to change the
Pool Record folder to the selected folder.
Minimize File
This allows you to change the size of audio files according
to the audio clips referenced in a project. The files pro-
duced using this option will only contain the audio file por-
tions actually used in the project, which can significantly
reduce the size of the project (given that large portions of
the audio files are unused).
New Version
This allows you to create a new version of a selected clip.
The new version appears in the same Pool folder, with the
same name but with a “version number” after it, to indicate
that the new clip is a duplicate. The first copy made of a
clip will logically get the version number “2” and so on.
Ö Copying a clip does not create a new file on disk, but
just a new edit version of the clip (referring to the same
original file).
Insert into Project
This allows you to insert clips selected in the Pool into the
project, at the current cursor position, at the left locator or
at the clip’s original position.
Select in Project
With this function you can find out which events in the
project refer to a particular clip in the Pool. Select the clip
in the Pool, and use this menu item. The corresponding
event(s) will then be selected in the Project window.
Search Media…
You can perform a search of the Pool to locate particular
clips. You can specify various criteria to match in the dia-
log that appears.
