Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1575)

• Use Handles checkbox: This option modifies the “Delete unused media” option described
above so that less media is deleted from a media file. Handles are additional footage
at the beginning and end of a clip that you keep just in case you need a few extra
frames for trimming, or you need extra footage beyond your planned In and Out points
to create a transition, such as a dissolve, to another shot. This option is available only
with the “Delete unused media” option.
Note: This option works only on QuickTime files that have timecode tracks and reel
names. If you have AIFF and Wave files in your selection, they are copied in their entirety.
• “Include affiliate clips outside selection” checkbox: This option allows you to retain media
used by all clips affiliated with your currently selected items, not just media for the
selected items. Whenever you choose a Media Manager option that can potentially
delete media, this option is automatically turned on.
Important: Because clips are affiliated by way of a master clip, you need to make sure
you also select the “Include master clips outside selection” option to retain affiliated
clips’ media.
When you select this option, the following additional media is included by the operation:
• A selected clip’s master clip media marked by an In point and Out point (or Media
Start and End points if no In or Out point is set)
• Media between affiliated clips’ In and Out points. For example, if a clip in Sequence
A refers to the first ten seconds of a media file, and an affiliate clip in Sequence B
refers to the last ten seconds of the same media file, none of the media file is deleted.
• Media referenced by any affiliate clips in other sequences, even if those sequences
weren’t originally selected
For example, if you have two affiliated clips, one in Sequence A and one in Sequence
B, they both refer to the same media file via their common master clip in the Browser.
If you select Sequence A to copy media using the Media Manager, only the media
referred to by the clip in Sequence A is copied. However, if you select the “Include
master clips outside selection” option and the “Include affiliate clips outside selection”
option, the media referred to by the affiliate clip in Sequence B is also copied, even
though you selected Sequence A for processing. Any media between the master clip’s
In and Out points is also retained.
This option is available with the Copy, Recompress, and Create Offline operations. This
option is always selected with the Move and Use Existing operations. For more
information on using this option, see
“Limiting How Much Media Is Copied or Deleted.”
