Files moved by the Media Manager are placed in a folder named after the project name,
which is placed in a folder called Media. The clips in your project are reconnected to the
media files in their new location.

Note: You could achieve the same results by moving files into a single folder in the Finder,
but then you would have to reconnect all of your clips to their media files manually. Using
the Media Manager makes this process more efficient, because all of your clips are
reconnected automatically after the media files are moved.

Example: Consolidating Your Project and Media Files for
Archiving

Many people like to archive their finished project files along with the corresponding
media files. In this example, you copy all the content to an archive folder, which you can
then back up on a DVD-R or other high-capacity media. After this process, you have an
additional copy of your project and its corresponding media files. The original project file
and media files are still intact.
