Import Medium…
The Import Medium dialog is used for importing files di-
rectly into the Pool.
Import Audio CD…
This opens a dialog that allows you to import audio from
audio CDs.
Find Missing Files…
This opens the Resolve Missing Files dialog that can be
used to find referenced files that may have been moved or
renamed, etc.
In the dialog that appears, decide if you want the program
to try to find the file for you (Search), if you want to do it
yourself (Locate) or if you want to specify in which direc
-
tory the program searches for the file (Folder).
Remove Missing Files
If the Pool contains audio files that cannot be found or re-
constructed, you may want to remove these:
Select this item to remove all missing files from the Pool
(and remove their corresponding events from the Project
window).
Reconstruct
If a missing file cannot be found (e. g. if you have acciden-
tally deleted it from the hard disk), this will normally be in-
dicated with a question mark in the Status column in the
Pool. However, if the missing file is an edit file (a file cre
-
ated when you process audio, stored in the Edits folder
within the project folder), it may be possible for the pro-
gram to reconstruct it by recreating the editing to the orig-
inal audio file.
Convert Files…
This opens the Convert Options dialog which operates on
selected files. Use the pop-up menus to specify which au
-
dio file attributes you want to keep and which you want to
convert.
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.
Extract Audio from Video File
This allows you to extract the audio from a video file on
disk, whereupon a new clip with the audio will appear in
the Pool Record folder. The clip will get the same name as
the video file from which it was extracted, and the sample
rate and file format used in the project.
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.
