Project Handling
Creating Self-Contained Projects
76
PROCEDURE
1. Close all projects.
2. Select File> Cleanup.
3. Click Start.
Cubase scans the hard disks for project folders and lists all audio and image files that
are not used by any project.
NOTE
You can also click Search Folder to select a specific folder for the Cleanup function.
This is only recommended if you are sure that the folder contains no audio files that
are used in other projects.
4. Select the files that you want to delete and click Delete.
Creating Self-Contained Projects
If you want to share your work or transfer it to another computer, your project must be self-
contained.
The following functions facilitate this task:
•
Select Media> Prepare Archive to verify that every clip that is referenced in the project
is located in the project folder, and to take actions if that is not the case.
•
Select File> Back up Project to create a new project folder where you can save the
project file and the necessary work data. The original project remains unchanged.
Preparing Archives
The Prepare Archive function allows you to gather all files that are referenced by your project
to ensure that these are in the project folder. This is useful if you want to move or archive
your project.
PROCEDURE
1. Select Media> Prepare Archive.
If your project references external files, you are prompted if you want to copy them to
your working directory. If any processing has been applied, you must decide if you want
to freeze edits.
2. Click Proceed.
RESULT
Your project is ready to be archived. You can move or copy the project folder to another
location.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
You must copy audio files that reside within the project folder to the Audio folder or save
them separately. You must also move your video clips manually, as videos are only referenced
and not saved in the project folder.
